A sleep study, or polysomnography, is a comprehensive test used to diagnose sleep disorders. It monitors various body functions during sleep, such as brain activity, eye movement, heart rate, breathing patterns, blood oxygen levels, and muscle activity. The information gathered helps sleep specialists identify conditions like sleep apnea, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, and narcolepsy.

The evaluation process at Metro Sleep begins with a thorough consultation where your sleep history, medical background, and symptoms are reviewed. Depending on the initial assessment, a sleep study may be recommended to diagnose any underlying sleep disorders.

Yes, Metro Sleep offers telehealth consultations for initial evaluations and follow-up appointments. This service provides convenient access to sleep specialists from the comfort of your home.

Metro Sleep Center combines advanced diagnostic technology with personalized patient care. Our team of board-certified specialists provides comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment options tailored to each individual's needs, ensuring the highest standard of sleep medicine care.

Metro Sleep offers both in-lab polysomnography (PSG) and home sleep apnea tests (HSAT). In-lab studies are comprehensive and monitor multiple physiological parameters, while home tests are typically used to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea.

Yes, we provide both in-lab and home sleep testing options, depending on the patient’s specific needs and insurance coverage requirements.

In-lab testing involves a full overnight stay at our facility with monitoring of various physiological activities during sleep. Home sleep testing is less comprehensive, focusing primarily on breathing patterns, and is conducted in the comfort of your own home.

On the day of your sleep study, avoid caffeine and naps, and follow your regular routine as much as possible. Bring comfortable sleepwear, personal toiletries, and any medications you may need overnight.

During an in-lab sleep study, you will sleep in a private room while sensors monitor your sleep stages, heart rate, breathing, oxygen levels, and body movements. A sleep technologist will supervise the study from a nearby control room.

It's normal to have concerns about sleeping in a new environment. However, most people sleep enough during the study to gather the necessary data for an accurate diagnosis.

Results from your sleep study are typically available within 7 to 10 business days. A follow-up appointment will be scheduled to discuss your results and the appropriate treatment plan.

We offer several treatment options for sleep apnea, including CPAP therapy, oral appliance therapy, positional therapy, weight management programs, and Inspire hypoglossal nerve stimulation therapy for eligible patients.

Depending on the severity and type of sleep apnea diagnosed, treatment options may include CPAP therapy, oral appliance therapy, lifestyle changes, or surgical interventions like Inspire Therapy for patients who are CPAP intolerant.

Inspire Therapy is an FDA-approved treatment for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea. It involves a small device implanted in the body that stimulates the hypoglossal nerve to keep the airway open during sleep. It is ideal for patients who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy.

If CPAP therapy is not suitable for you, alternative treatments such as oral appliance therapy or Inspire Therapy may be recommended based on your specific diagnosis and needs.
