After a consultation with one of our physicians, patients referred to NPMC Sleep Center may be scheduled for an overnight sleep study in our lab. This allows patients to be monitored overnight by noninvasive equipment that measures sleep, respiration, snoring, muscle activity, heart rhythm and position.

​

Extensive information is collected during a sleep test; therefore it may take several days to get a final report. A patient's sleep physician will receive a preliminary report the morning after the test and the patient will receive the results at the time of a follow-up visit. Patients should call their sleep physician's office to make a follow-up appointment after the sleep study if one has not been scheduled.

​

Diagnosing and treating sleep disorders involves more than sleep testing. Our sleep physician will work with patients to develop a treatment plan, which includes follow-up appointments to monitor progress and address problems. Our sleep physician will send the results of evaluation, test results, and follow-up to their primary care physician. We will also work with the patient's other health care providers to help reach the best possible outcome.
