Hospital Sleep Studies
Children sleep overnight in a specially designed sleep laboratory.
Their brain waves, breathing, movement and oxygen levels are monitored with special equipment.
Nothing hurts and most children sleep normally.
There is a bed / cot for your child and a full size bed for you to stay with them.
Home Sleep Studies
A sleep study can be conducted in your home.
The sleep study equipment is attached to your child in our practice in the afternoon, your child returns home and the equipment is returned the following business day.
There is on-call telephone support throughout the night if required.
