What to Expect if You Need a Sleep Study

Some patients may need a sleep study to better evaluate their sleep disorders. A physician’s referral is required, so talk to your doctor about your sleep challenges and ask for a referral to Roane Medical Center. Sleep studies usually are recommended for people who suffer from sleep apnea, pathologic sleepiness like narcolepsy, or nocturnal behaviors such as sleepwalking or dream enactment.

A complete sleep study typically requires one or two nights of sleep monitoring. Daytime testing also may be needed. Your evaluation will measure factors such as brain wave activity, heart rate, eye movement and oxygen leels.

Our sleep team wants you to be as comfortable as possible during your study, so we provide a cozy, home-like atmosphere. A sleep technician will continuously monitor your sleep during the study. Our physician will review your sleep study results and may refer you to other specialists if needed. Typical referrals include dentistry, otolaryngology (ENT), or weight management.

Most insurance companies provide coverage for evaluation of sleep disorders. Contact your insurance company for details about your policy’s specific conditions.
