Sleep apnea and movement disorders are two of the major sleep disorders that affect an estimated 20 percent of the American population. Untreated sleep disorders can be responsible for serious health and safety issues.
The Neurodiagnostic Sleep Lab performs sleep studies to diagnose common sleep disorders. Sleep studies are performed at night by technicians who monitor a person while they sleep. Before falling asleep, numerous leads and electrodes are attached to a patient’s head, arms, legs, torso, and face. Technologically advanced equipment records every breath, heartbeat, movement, and brain activity to determine just what is robbing the patient of restful sleep. The Sleep Lab offers state of the art testing sites at Winchester Medical Center, Warren Memorial Hospital, and Shenandoah Memorial Hospital.

Services Offered:
We offer the state of the art technology and the highest level of care to ensure a comfortable sleep study for the patient.
In our sleep lab, we can perform a variety of sleep studies designed to identify a specific sleep disorder. The tests include overnight studies called polysomnograms (PSGs). The multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) and the maintenance of wakefulness test (MWT) are daytime studies that quantify sleepiness and diagnose disorders of excessive sleepiness. The MWT is used frequently with compliance tests for the Department of Transportation (DOT). Treatments for sleep and breathing disorders can sometimes be corrected during a sleep study. All of our technologists are board certified in the top of their field.
The technologist is in constant video and audio contact with the patient, providing a safe, supportive environment with minimal anxiety. Our diagnostic suites have been designed to promote a relaxing atmosphere and a pleasant patient experience. We offer queen-size beds with private bathrooms. Our technologists strive to provide every convenience to their patient’s needs.
