Sleep LabThe Sleep Lab provides specialized testing to identify difficulties with sleep and/or staying awake. Sleep-related breathing disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are relatively common and are associated with cardiac disease, high blood pressure and daytime sleepiness. These disorders can cause injuries at work and/or motor vehicle accidents. Identification of a sleep-related breathing disorder can lead to proper treatment and prevention of secondary effects. Sleep disorder quizTaking this quick quiz can help you see if you have the signs of a breathing-related sleep disorder. What is a sleep study?A sleep study (also called a polysomnogram) is a test that provides important information about whether your sleep is frequently interrupted, preventing you from getting the rest your body needs. Studies are conducted in a private, comfortable bedroom equipped with color television and a private bathroom with shower. If, during the first part of the study, the results show that you have obstructive sleep apnea, the technician may try a treatment device to treat your symptoms and improve your sleep. After the test is completed a complementary continental breakfast will be provided.
Sleep Lab staffThe sleep center is staffed by Registered Polysomnographic Technologists and Polysomnographic Technicians to provide quality study and therapy education. Specially skilled physicians provide interpretation of the study data and make recommendations for treatment.
