Our outpatient facility performs sleep studies seven nights a week, as well as daytime studies for those people who work third shift. Each of our twelve bedrooms is equipped with polysomnographic diagnostic systems that meet or surpass the American Academy of Sleep Medicine's standards. Visitors compare our center to a hotel instead of a hospital with adjustable beds, flat panel televisions, personal handicap accessible bathrooms with showers, free continental breakfast, and a private garden for all to enjoy. Our amenities allow for subjects to relax and reduce any anxieties regarding the procedures. Please take an online tour. www.sleepwellandlive.com/swi_about/facility.html
Office visits hours are between 8:30am to 8pm Monday-Thursday and 8:30am-5pm on Fridays. We currently have four examination rooms.
The Sleep Wellness Institute is located just off interstate 45. Public transportation includes a bus stop within one block. We also offer cab service to all subjects, if necessary.
We are willing to purchase any additional equipment that may be needed for each individual trial. Study monitors will also be allowed to use a personal workstation as needed. Each workstation will include a phone line and internet connection.
