Helping your doctor help you get the sleep you need
Our board-certified MD and certified sleep technicians
and nurses provide a full range of services to help you sleep better.
The most important way we assist you and your doctor is through
a sleep study called polysomnography.

A sleep study is completely painless and records your
brain waves, breathing rate and oxygen levels, your heart rate and
muscle movements while you sleep. This information sheds light on
many disorders that disrupt your sleep – and probably your
bed partner’s, too – and keep you from feeling your
best, such as:
• Insomnia &
the inability to stay asleep throughout the night
• Snoring
• Sleep apnea – Not breathing for
several seconds at a time, throughout sleep.
• Narcolepsy – Falling
asleep suddenly, without control – sometimes called “sleep
attacks.”
• Restless legs syndrome or
periodic limb movement – Kicking, jerking
movements in the legs that occur uncontrollably off and on during
sleep.
• Childhood sleep disorders
– Children can suffer from sleep apnea
and are also more prone to problems like sleepwalking or night terrors
– conditions that are troubling to loved ones and keep children
from the rest they need. We perform studies for kids of all ages
and are happy to give your child special care that makes testing
easy for both of you.
