Various Types of Sleep Studies in Chicago
Sleepologie performs a number of types of evaluation to suit your needs:
- In-Lab Polysomnography: The standard overnight test in a sleep lab. Tracks brain waves, blood oxygen, heart rate, breathing, limb movements, etc. Perfect for diagnosing more complicated sleep disorders.
- Home Sleep Tests (HST / At-Home Sleep Testing): Simplified equipment you conduct at home to track breathing, oxygen saturation, and airflow to diagnose conditions such as sleep apnea. Faster, more convenient, and usually more comfortable for patients. Sleepologie incorporates home testing where applicable.
- Sleep Disorder Consultations/Follow-Ups: Aside from testing, this is where we read tests, modify lifestyle variables, and prescribe therapies (CPAP, MADs, meds, behavior therapies).
- Specialized Disorder Testing: In the case of disorders such as narcolepsy, circadian rhythm disorders, parasomnias etc., more specific or extended monitoring or sleep diaries can be included in the process.
Prevention of Sleep Disorders
Though certain sleep disorders require medical treatment, most sleep disorders can be prevented or reduced through lifestyle modifications. Following are some tips:
Keep a regular sleep routine, even during weekends.
Establish a sleep-conducive environment: dark, quiet, comfortable temperature.
Restrict caffeine, alcohol, big meals, and electronics (particularly blue light) near bedtime.
Exercise routinely but not strenuously near bedtime.
Deal with stress with relaxation methods – meditation, deep breathing, or gentle stretching.
Get evaluated early: if you experience signs such as loud snoring, daytime sleepiness, or interruptions in breathing, get evaluated before complications occur.

FAQs
Q1. What is a home sleep test and is it as good as an in-lab sleep study?
A home sleep test is a streamlined sleep test conducted in your own home. It records airflow, effort at breathing, oxygen levels, etc. In diagnosing straightforward instances of obstructive sleep apnea, it is usually accurate. For complicated sleep disorders or ambiguous results, an in-lab polysomnography might be suggested for better data.
Q2. How do I know that I need to visit a sleep specialist?
Get help if you have loud snoring, breathing stops during sleep, daytime sleepiness, difficulty staying or falling asleep, restless legs, abnormal sleep-wake patterns, or symptoms that are affecting daily life. Early testing avoids complications and enhances quality of life.
Q3. What treatments does Sleepologie offer?
Depending on diagnosis, treatment can involve CPAP or BiPAP equipment for sleep apnea, mandibular advancement devices, medication, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), lifestyle and behavior interventions, or disorder-specific treatment for conditions such as narcolepsy or parasomnias.
Q4. Do you accept insurance, and can I do telehealth visits?
Yes. Sleepologie accepts most major insurances. We also provide both in-office and telehealth visits to ensure access to care is as convenient as possible.
