Sleep Tests Offered
Polysomnogram (PSG) Study
The most common sleep study, PSG involves an overnight stay to monitor brain activity, breathing, heart rhythms and movements — helping pinpoint the root of a sleep disorder.
Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) Titration
After a sleep apnea diagnosis, this overnight study uses a PAP mask to determine the best settings to restore normal breathing and reduce or eliminate snoring.
Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) / Daytime Nap Study
This daytime study measures how quickly you fall asleep in a quiet setting. It helps diagnose excessive daytime sleepiness, narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia.
Sleep Evaluation Tools
Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS)
Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) is a common sign of sleep disorders. The ESS measures your likelihood of dozing off during daily activities with results you can share with your physician.
STOP-BANG Questionnaire
Before surgery, screening for sleep apnea is vital to reduce risks like cardiac arrest or shock. The STOP-bang questionnaire helps identify at-risk patients — ask your physician or take our self-test.
