Tests, Treatments, and Tips

An evaluation may consist of specific screening tools utilized to assess your condition. In order to fully understand your sleep, your health care provider may recommend a sleep test, or polysomnogram, which will evaluate your sleep concerns.

A "sleep study" may be ordered by your physician to assess your sleep-related problems. The sleep study is an outpatient, non-invasive, painless test that typically requires six to eight hours to conduct. Alexian Sleep Health Center of Elk Grove Village offers private, sleep study rooms that feel like a hotel room but are equipped with sensors that monitor breathing, brain waves, muscle activity, heart rate, oxygen and body movements. Our sleep technicians observe and document your sleep. A board-certified specialist reviews the information. A final written report with treatment recommendations is sent to your doctor.
