Summary

Providers perform sleep studies to diagnose sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, when a patient stops breathing in his sleep for 10 or more seconds, sleep walking, or insomnia. Sleep studies are diagnostic services that utilize laboratory or portable technology the patient uses at home to evaluate physiological functioning while the patient is asleep.
