Sleep Studies (Polysomnograms): This involves spending a night in our sleep lab. As part of the procedure, monitors are placed to record brain waves, muscle activity, respiration and heart rhythms while you sleep. Because it is non-invasive procedure, no needles or catheters are used during the study.

Multiple Sleep Latency Test: This test usually follows an overnight sleep study. It involves giving a series of nap tests during the day to assess the degree of daytime sleepiness. The test is useful for diagnosing narcolepsy and other conditions that lead to excessive daytime sleepiness.

CPAP Titration: If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea, you may be asked to have an overnight study to attempt a trial with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), a device used in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. This consists of a small mask that is placed over the nose and is connected to a pressure device that acts as an air-pressure splint to prevent your airways from collapsing during sleep. At the time of discharge you will receive a brand-new CPAP mask; free mask fitting sessions are available. A support group for CPAP patients is offered on a quarterly basis.
