When to Consider a Sleep Study
If you are practicing good sleep hygiene and continue to have sleep problems, it may be time to make an appointment with Frye Regional's Sleep Center.
Within the Sleep Center we perform night time sleep studies with CPAP/BiPAP titrations, oxygen titration, capnography, and nocturnal seizure/REM behavioral disorders with expanded EEG monitoring. We offer sleep testing for ages 4 years old and up.
Multiple Sleep Latency Tests (MSLT) and Maintenance of Wakefulness Tests (MWT) are also offered for patients that have normal sleep studies but continue to complain of excessive daytime somnolence and narcolepsy.
You may benefit from a sleep study if you experience:
- Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
- Excessive sleepiness during the day
- Falling asleep at inappropriate times
- Pauses in breathing or loud snoring
Home Sleep Studies
Frye Regional Sleep Center now offers home sleep studies for select patients.
- APNEA testing is available
- Quick turnaround time on results
- Sleep studies are available day and night, seven days a week, to accommodate all work schedules
Home Sleep Apnea Testing is an easy, cost-effective way to figure out whether you’re having trouble breathing. A Home Sleep Apnea Test is a very simplified breathing monitor that tracks your breathing, oxygen levels, and breathing effort while worn. It does not fully capture what is monitored with an in lab Overnight Sleep Study. Overnight Sleep Studies give a more thorough assessment of sleep issues. They are attended by a Sleep Technologist and capture many more signals, including brainwaves for sleep, muscle tone, and leg movements. For people with certain heart, breathing, or neuromuscular problems, an in lab Overnight Sleep Study at a Sleep Center may be better.
