- Snoring
- Insomnia
- Other sleep-related conditions
As a nationally accredited facility recognized by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, we are committed to delivering high-quality patient care and accurate diagnoses.
Sleep Studies for Adults and Children
We conduct sleep studies for adults and children (ages 8-17) to evaluate and diagnose sleep disorders. To learn more about scheduling a sleep study or obtaining a referral, please contact our office. If you are unsure about how to obtain a referral, our staff can guide you through the process.
A Comfortable and Supportive Sleep Study Experience
We understand that sleep studies take place in a vulnerable and personal setting. Our Sleep Science Center is designed with comfort and privacy in mind, ensuring a relaxing experience.
What to Expect During a Sleep Study
Most sleep disorders require two studies:
- Initial Sleep Study (Diagnostic Test) – Records sleep patterns, breathing, and body movements to determine the presence of a sleep disorder.
- Follow-Up Sleep Study (Treatment Adjustment) – If needed, a second study helps refine treatment, such as CPAP therapy for sleep apnea. In severe cases, treatment adjustments may begin during the first study.
In-Lab vs. Home Sleep Studies: Understanding the Difference
In-Lab Sleep Study
- Conducted overnight at the Sleep Science Center
- Includes EEG (brain wave monitoring), cardiac monitoring, and snore detection
- Data is monitored and adjustments are made remotely for accuracy
- Patients check in at 7 or 8 PM and complete the study in 7-9 hours
Home Sleep Study
- Often required by insurance companies
- Uses third-party equipment mailed to the patient with setup instructions
- Data is collected at home and sent to our Sleep Science Center for analysis
- Results are reviewed at a follow-up appointment with a physician or nurse practitioner
