Service Overview
Our sleep apnea testing services help accurately diagnose obstructive sleep apnea using either convenient at-home testing or comprehensive in-lab sleep studies. Both options are physician-reviewed and designed to guide effective treatment based on your symptoms, health history, and diagnostic needs.
In-Lab Sleep Study
- What Is an In-Lab Sleep Study?
An in-lab sleep study, also known as polysomnography, is a comprehensive overnight test used to diagnose sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea and other complex conditions that require detailed monitoring.
- Overnight Monitoring in a Controlled Environment
You are monitored overnight in a specialized sleep laboratory while trained specialists collect detailed data on your sleep patterns, breathing, brain activity, and body responses throughout the night.
- Advanced Diagnostic Accuracy
In-lab studies provide a complete evaluation of sleep architecture, helping identify disruptions and abnormalities that home sleep tests may miss. This level of detail supports highly accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
- What the Test Measures
Polysomnography captures multiple physiological signals, including brain activity, breathing, heart rate, oxygen levels, and muscle movement, to deliver a precise and comprehensive sleep disorder diagnosis.
- Brain Activity (EEG)
Records brain waves to identify sleep stages and detect abnormal sleep patterns.
- Breathing & Airflow Patterns
Sensors monitor airflow and breathing interruptions associated with sleep apnea.
- Heart Rate & Oxygen Levels
Tracks heart rate variability and blood oxygen saturation to detect oxygen drops during sleep.
- Muscle Activity (EMG)
Measures muscle movements to help diagnose conditions like restless leg syndrome.
In-Lab vs. Home Sleep Study
In-lab studies offer full physiological monitoring, while home tests focus on limited respiratory data for uncomplicated cases.
Is an In-Lab Sleep Study Right for You?
Recommended if you have complex symptoms, underlying medical conditions, or need a comprehensive sleep evaluation.
