Comprehensive sleep studies for adults experiencing symptoms such as difficulty falling asleep, maintaining sleep and issues associated with sleep apnea
Studies are conducted 7 days a week in a home-like setting within the hospital and provide essential data on sleep patterns. The data is evaluated by certified sleep technicians from Pivotal Health and GBMC physicians. Final physician reports are available in approximately 1 - 2 weeks after the study.
All rooms are equipped with a private bathroom and shower. Patients are welcome to bring their own pillows. Rooms also feature cable television, bathroom toiletries and hairdryers.
