Effective In-Lab Testing
We Value Accuracy
There are 5 sleep tests that may be performed during a sleep study, based on each patient's medical needs.
Polysomnogram (PSG)
A PSG monitors your sleep cycles to identify disturbances in brain, muscle, and breathing activity. It is often used to diagnose Obstructive Sleep Apnea, parasomnias, narcolepsy, circadian rhythm disorders, and movement-related disorders such as restless legs syndrome.
Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT)
An MSLT measures how long it takes you to fall asleep during the daytime, and is often used to diagnose disorders related to excessive daytime sleepiness such as narcolepsy and hypersomnia. The tests consists of 5 daytime naps scheduled two hours apart, with electrodes monitoring when you are sleep and awake.
CPAP Titration
A Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine is often prescribed for patients with sleep apnea and several other sleep disorders. A CPAP titration typically occurs after diagnosis, and is intended to identify the right amount of CPAP pressure to treat the condition. The patient will be fitted with a CPAP mask, and varying levels will be applied during the night to determine what provides the maximum amount of symptom relief.
Split Night Study
A Split Night Study combines a PSG and a CPAP titration into one sleep study. This allows patients to be diagnosed with a sleep disorder and prescribed the correct level of CPAP, without having to return for a second study. These sleep studies are used most often for patients suspected of severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Home Sleep Study
A Home Sleep Study is an at-home test to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea. Many insurance providers require home sleep testing in the initial evaluation of obstructive sleep apnea. A home sleep test is not ideal for every patient, and it has limitations. For more information about Home Sleep Studies, click here.
