We use advanced testing methods to diagnose each child's unique sleep issues.

Pediatric polysomnography is an overnight sleep study which record brain waves, oxygen level, heart rate and breathing with video monitoring.

Multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) is an extension of the overnight sleep study or polysomnogram to determine disorders associated with excessive daytime sleepiness.

Actigraphy measures the activities to assess for circadian rhythm disorders and to assess the information before multiple sleep latency test.

During a sleep study, your child will undergo painless testing in a comfortable environment set up to match regular sleep and bedtime patterns. Our sleep experts monitor your child closely to diagnose the sleep disorder and establish a comprehensive, personalized treatment plan.
