Diagnosing sleep disorders

Disorders are diagnosed through sleep studies conducted by licensed respiratory therapists and registered polysomnographic technologists, usually overnight.

The Sleep Disorders Center can help to diagnose the following disorders:

• Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Often characterized by loud snoring, obstructive sleep apnea causes the sleeper to stop breathing momentarily many times during the night. The brain wakes the sleeper to resume breathing each time.
• Narcolepsy: This disorder causes sudden sleep at inappropriate times. Narcolepsy can be both embarrassing and dangerous.
• Insomnia: The inability to fall asleep or stay asleep, insomnia can result in fatigue, irritability and poor concentration.
• Chronic Snoring: Loud snoring night after night may not affect the sleeper, but it often disrupts a bed partner’s sleep.
• Restless Leg Syndrome: People affected experience crawling or painful sensations in their legs while trying to fall asleep.
• Other disorders: Sleepwalking, periodic limb movement disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding).
