Sleep testing is scheduled during regular sleep hours, either night or day depending on the individual's schedule.
The sleep testing is performed in a comfortable, home-like environment by specially trained technologists. The rooms
are private, equipped with full-sized beds, cable TV and VCRs, and private bathroom and shower facilities. A sleep technologist places small
sensors on various parts of the body for documentation of brain waves and muscle activity during sleep. The sensors allow the technologist to monitor the
patient's sleep from another room. The patient will be required to be at the sleep center for a minimum of seven hours.
Poor sleep, like any medical issue, should be discussed with your primary physician as the first step in the treatment
process. Your primary care physician may refer you for consultation with a sleep specialist or directly to Sparrow Sleep Center for appropriate testing.
