Research tells us sleep is as vital to our health and well-being as a balanced diet or regular exercise. We spend one-third of our lives sleeping, more time than working or playing. This important part of active living restores and prepares our bodies for daytime alertness and better health. At Nor-Lea, our state-of-the-art facility is staffed with qualified technologists, all of whom will pay close attention to the activity of sleep patterns. The sleep study will be conducted in one of our comfortable and home-like bedroom settings. Each of our four rooms has its own attached bathroom and television, and a shower also is available.
Continuous readouts of these functions are monitored by our sleep technologist and automatically transmitted and recorded to our sleep system. Functions that are monitored include the following:
 Brain Wave Activity
Breathing
Heart Rate
Blood Oxygen Concentration
Leg and Chin Muscle Activity
Eye Movement
Snoring
Body Position
The Sleep Specialties Group will analyze and interpret data recorded during your sleep study. The Sleep Specialties Group has been providing consulting services for more than 17 years. SSG analyzes and interprets 600 to 700 studies each month. Reports will be electronically submitted via a HIPAA Compliance Server System.
Within 24 hours of the study, our technologist will share results with your physician.
