Treating Sleep Disorders

The Sleep Lab at San Jacinto Methodist Hospital offers diagnostic and clinical services to treat many sleep disorders. The most common disorder is obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). In addition, narcolepsy (an overwhelming drowsiness or sleepiness during the day), insomnia (difficulty falling or staying asleep), parasomnias (conditions that affect the sleep process and cause disruptive sleep events like nightmares, sleepwalking, night terrors or confusion upon awakening), and limb movement disorders round out the spectrum of sleep problems.

The Sleep Lab provides technical excellence in polysomnography. This sleep study measures your sleep cycles and stages by recording brain waves (EEG), electrical activity of muscles, eye movement, breathing rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation and heart rhythm. Your sleep study will be interpreted by a sleep-study medical expert. We are committed to providing outstanding clinical care for those with sleep disorders.

Our Sleep Lab follows all nationally accepted standards for the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders and provides the highest quality of care. Patients requesting a sleep evaluation need a referral from a licensed physician. Each patient referral must be accompanied by a recent patient history and a physical examination. If requested, our staff physicians are available for consultation. We also provide for insurance approval and scheduling. These activities are coordinated with the referring physician's office.
