Sleep Clinic
At Empire Hospital, our exclusive sleep laboratory is equipped with cutting-edge technology to provide the most accurate and comprehensive sleep studies. Our Philips Alice 6 LDx diagnostic sleep system, paired with the latest Sleepware G3 software, ensures precise monitoring and analysis of your sleep patterns.
During your stay at our Sleep Clinic, you’ll experience the utmost comfort in a private room. Electrodes will be attached to your body to record key data such as breathing, brain waves, heart activity, and muscle movements during sleep. This information is meticulously analyzed by our team of sleep center physicians and doctors to identify and diagnose any sleep disorders you may have.
We conduct polysomnography (PSG), commonly known as a sleep study, to diagnose a range of sleep disorders including sleep apnea, periodic limb movement disorder, narcolepsy, insomnia, sleepwalking, and REM sleep behavior disorder. Our goal is to provide you with accurate diagnoses and effective treatment plans to improve your quality of sleep and overall well-being.
