Sleep Disorder & Treatment

Home Sleep Study

Home sleep studies can only be used to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Following insurance approval, you will be given an appointment to come to the Sleep Center to meet with a sleep technologist who will give you a device and show you how to use it. You use the home sleep test for one night only, and then you return it to the Sleep Center the next day. Test results will be available in approximately 7 - 10 days.

Adult Overnight Sleep Study

Overnight hospital sleep studies can be used to diagnose a wide variety of sleep disorders. You will arrive at Stamford Hospital for your sleep study between 7:00 and 9:00 p.m. We will give you time to settle into your comfortable hotel-like room with a private bathroom and shower.

Our sleep technology specialist will prepare you for the sleep study, applying adhesive electrodes to connect you to our monitoring equipment. This process is not uncomfortable. You will be free to watch television or read until you are ready to go to sleep. The study will be conducted throughout the night while you sleep, and you can leave for your normal routine in the morning.

Pediatric Overnight Sleep Study

As with adult overnight sleep studies, pediatric patients will spend the night in our state-of-the-art Sleep Center. Our rooms, which are furnished to look like a hotel room with a queen-size bed, luxury reclining chair, cable television, and private bath with shower, are large enough to accommodate a care partner.

After arriving and settling in, our sleep technology specialist will prepare the patient and apply adhesive electrodes that connect to our monitoring equipment. This process is not uncomfortable. Then, the care partner can help the child settle in with their typical nighttime routine. The study will be conducted throughout the night, and the child and care partner can leave in the morning.
