The Sleep Study

A sleep study requires one or more consecutive nights of sleeping in the laboratory. The Sleep Well Center consists of spacious private rooms designed with your comfort in mind. The lab is monitored by closed-circuit televisions and microphones to assure that all sleep-related activity is seen and recorded for complete evaluation. The sleep study is painless. A specially trained technologist will apply sensors to the head, face, chest and legs. State-of-the-art equipment will monitor brainwaves, eye movements, breathing, blood oxygen levels, heart rate and muscle activity during sleep. These functions can be normal while the individual is awake, but abnormal during sleep. The referring physician will receive a complete sleep report which begins with defining and diagnosing the problem and includes recommended treatment plans.

Insurance
Sleep studies are medical procedures that require a doctor’s order.  If your insurance allows direct referrals, you can come to our sleep clinic for a physician evaluation.  If your insurance insists upon a referral, your primary care physician will need to order either evaluation in the sleep clinic or sleep testing for you.

Sleep disorders are recognized medical conditions that are covered by many insurance companies. Check with your provider regarding your specific plan.
