Polysomnographic Technician (Sleep Tech)
Polysomnographic technicians monitor patients during sleep studies to diagnose disorders like sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and insomnia. They hook up monitoring equipment, observe physiological data overnight, and generate reports for physicians. Florida's large elderly population (with high sleep disorder prevalence) drives above-average demand in this specialized field.
