What to Expect
What should I expect as a patient at the Sleep Disorders Center?
During sleep testing, the activities that go on in your body during sleep (brain waves, muscle movements, eye movements, breathing through your mouth and nose, snoring, heart rate and leg movements) are monitored by small discs (called electrodes) applied to your head and skin with adhesive. Flexible belts around your chest and abdomen measure your breathing. The level of oxygen in your blood is monitored by a clip on your index finger or earlobe.
Your sleep may also be videotaped for later review of any abnormalities observed during the study. None of these devices are painful, and all are designed to be as comfortable as possible. In the Sleep Disorder Center, your surroundings (especially the bedroom) are home-like and comfortable.

During the past 18 months, I have had many medical exams, tests, and inpatient, as well as, outpatient services at the hospital. Throughout this time, I have received outstanding care and compassionate treatment from a most professional staff. Their sincere and friendly manner was always evident no matter how busy they were. Thank you all for the great services you provide on a daily basis for those in need.
