Sleep Center
The Center for Sleep Disorders at Doctors Hospital uses state-of-the-art computer equipment to monitor patients who suffer from sleep disturbances. Physicians who are qualified in sleep medicine work with highly-trained technical staff to evaluate test results.
Chronic Insomnia and Sleep Apnea are the most common sleep disorders, many other conditions produce fragmented, non-restful sleep. Loss of sleep causes memory loss, impaired motor skills, increased numbers of accidents, and decreased resistance to disease for millions of Americans.
Once a sleep study has been scheduled, patients usually spend one or two nights in the laboratory while their brain wave patterns (EEG) and other physiologic measures are recorded electronically. The testing is done in our comfortable, home-like bedroom – equipped with TV and other amenities. We encourage a family member to spend the night with the patient during testing to alleviate any concerns. The testing is done in our comfortable, home-like bedroom - equipped with TV, Temper-Pedic beds and other amenities.
Test results are sent to your physician, who will discuss treatment options with you.
Most insurance companies provide coverage for the evaluation and treatment of certain sleep disorders. You should check with your insurance company before your sleep study to see what is covered. Your doctor or nurse can help you with any forms or procedures that your insurance company requires.
