Sleep study services performed at Orange Regional’s Center for Sleep Medicine aid in the diagnosis of potential sleep disorders. A sleep study is a painless, non-invasive test that allows specially- trained technicians to monitor your breathing, heart rate, the oxygen levels in your blood, your eye movement, muscle tone and other factors. Sleep studies take place in our state-of-the-art facility and offer the latest diagnostic technology in a new and comfortable bedroom. The bedroom is equipped with individual temperature-controlled settings, a flat screen television and private bathroom, so our guests can be as relaxed as possible. A continental breakfast or lunch is also provided. The Center for Sleep Medicine also diagnoses pediatric patients five years of age and above and provides accommodations for parents.
