THE CENTER
Full polysomnographic testing for sleep disordered breathing and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) /bi-level titration; Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) and Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) for excessive daytime somnolence such as Narcolepsy or Idiopathic Hypersomnolence; and testing for abnormal behaviors during sleep such as Rapid eye movement Behavior Disorder (RBD) are conducted in state-of-the-art sleep suites. The sleep rooms have a personal bathroom, and shower.
Family members are welcome to visit. The goal is to have the patient feel like they are in their own bedroom at home. However, family members are not allowed to stay overnight in the patient’s room.
Sleep Studies may be scheduled for day or evening, Sunday through Thursday. Unattended Home Sleep Studies are also available when appropriate. Average wait times for studies is 2 weeks. The Center’s office hours are 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and Sleep Lab hours are 7:30 PM to 7:30 AM. In the past, wait times for sleep studies at the center ranged from 4 to 6 weeks. Now, with the addition of two more beds, the average wait has been reduced to 2 weeks.
