The Registered Sleep Technologist (RST) credential is an objectively designed pathway for trained sleep technologists to demonstrate their knowledge and aptitude in sleep technology. In order to obtain the RST credential, a sleep technologist must pass the Sleep Technologist Registry Examination. The next Sleep Technologist Registration exam will be offered later this year.

All sleep technologists who have passed the Board of Registered Polysomnographic Technologists examination prior to December 31, 2011 and are Registered Polysomnographic Technologists in good standing are eligible to apply for equivalency status and receive the Registered Sleep Technologist certification from the ABSM. Sleep Technologist Registry Equivalency Applications are due on March 31, 2012.
