Sleep Medicine and Studies

Getting a good night’s sleep is vital to your overall health and well-being. Poor sleep is more than an inconvenience — it can suggest a chronic or serious disorder that can produce life-threatening complications. We understand how frustrating sleep challenges can be and, more importantly, know how to diagnose any underlying medical conditions that may be the cause.

A physician who specializes in sleep medicine can diagnose and treat a variety of sleep-related disorders. Your physician may recommend a sleep study as your first step towards improving your sleep quality.

What Is a Sleep Study?

Sleep studies are the best means we currently have of diagnosing sleep disorders. A sleep study is a painless, non-invasive procedure used to diagnose the cause of your sleeping problems. During the test, you will sleep at one of our fully furnished and comfortable sleep study facilities. Our expert sleep technologists will use the results of the study to diagnose the cause of your sleep disorder.

A sleep study can test adults and adolescents for:

  • Excessive daytime sleepiness
  • Nocturnal seizures
  • Restless legs syndrome
  • REM behavior disorders
  • Sleep apnea
  • Obstructive sleep apnea
  • Narcolepsy

Download the STOP-BANG Questionnaire (PDF) to help you review with a provider if you have the symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea.

Inspire® Therapy

Inspire therapy is a mask-free solution for people with obstructive sleep apnea who have tried and struggled with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines. Meet with your sleep medicine physician to determine if you are a candidate for Inspire therapy.
