Sleep Studies

Sleep studies are a good diagnostic tool for practitioners to use for many types of sleep disorders.

Your practitioner has to order a sleep study. Patients are not able to self-refer. The order for your study goes to our respiratory therapist. What follows is the process for these.

Testing

Some of the conditions which can be tested for are:

  • Sleep Apnea
  • Recurrent Hypersomnia
  • Insomnia
  • Restless Leg Syndrome
  • Other Sleep Associated Disorders
