Overview

Overview

Overview

If you are prescribed an in-lab sleep study, you will sleep at a sleep lab providing a comfortable, hotel-like environment designed for natural sleep. During your stay, a certified sleep technologist will monitor various aspects of your sleep, including:

  • Brain wave patterns

  • Heart rate and rhythm

  • Breathing patterns

  • Blood oxygen levels

  • Body movements

  • Sleep positions

Types of Sleep Studies You May be Prescribed

Polysomnogram (PSG)

A comprehensive overnight sleep study that measures multiple aspects of your sleep to diagnose various sleep disorders.

Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT)

A daytime study specifically designed to evaluate excessive daytime sleepiness and diagnose conditions like narcolepsy.

CPAP Titration Study

For patients diagnosed with sleep apnea, this study determines the optimal air pressure settings for your CPAP therapy. We often combine this with a PSG in a split-night study for your convenience.

What to Expect After Your Sleep Study

 Following your sleep study, our team will schedule a review of your results within:

  • 2-3 days for home sleep studies

  • 5-7 days for in-lab studies

  • Additional time may be needed for specialized tests like PNOE, microbiome, or micronutrient testing

During your review, Dr. Ishaaya will discuss your diagnosis and create a personalized treatment plan, which may include:

  • Lifestyle and nutritional modifications

  • CPAP therapy or other breathing devices

  • Dental appliances

  • Medication or supplements

  • Surgical options when appropriate

Preparing for Your Sleep Study

To ensure the most accurate results:

  • Maintain your regular sleep schedule in the days before the study

  • Avoid caffeine and alcohol on the day of your study

  • Bring comfortable sleepwear and personal items and follow the instructions provided by the lab

  • Continue taking your regular medications unless instructed otherwise

  • Inform our team about all current medications and medical conditions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to sleep for eight hours during the study?

No, we can obtain the necessary data even with less sleep time. The quality of the data is more important than the quantity.

How do I know if I should have an in-lab or at-home study?

During your initial consultation, Dr. Ishaaya will evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and insurance coverage to recommend the most appropriate type of sleep study for your situation.

What if I have trouble sleeping in new environments?

A sleep lab is designed to be as comfortable and home-like as possible. You will be provided adequate time for you to adjust to the environment, and even partial sleep data can be valuable for diagnosis.

Is the sleep study covered by insurance?

Most insurance plans, including Medicare, cover sleep studies when medically necessary. Our team will verify your coverage and obtain any required authorizations before proceeding.
