Chronic Sleep Issues Shouldn’t Be Ignored

Every person has at least occasional struggles with sleep.

But when do sleep issues become a concern that requires diagnosis and treatment from a doctor? … READ MORE

 

ADVANCED TESTING

sleep medicineAt the Morris Hospital Sleep Center, patients undergo a variety of non-invasive sleep exams that allow physicians to monitor the activity in the body and brain during sleep. Often, sleep disorders cannot be identified with a normal office visit, as doctors need conclusive evidence that can only be obtained while you’re asleep.

Specific sleep exams conducted at the sleep center include:

  • Diagnostic Sleep Studies
  • Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Titration Studies
  • Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) Studies
  • Maintenance of Wakefulness Tests
  • Multiple Sleep Latency Tests
  • Polysomnograms

These tests allow physicians to measure brain waves, oxygen levels, heart rate, breathing, eye movements, leg movements, airflow pressure, alertness during the daytime, quickness in falling asleep and other indicators that help identify a sleep disorder and its cause.

A sleep technologist usually conducts the sleep study, and our board-certified sleep physician reads and interprets the results.
