 I'm Adrian Pristis, Corporate Medical Sleep Director for Hackensack Meridian Health. Hackensack Meridian has 13 sleep disorder centers spread through Central and Northern New Jersey. Walmouth and Ocean County have six centers themselves. The Sleep Center is a physical building where people go to have their diagnosis made on a variety of sleep disorders. They can be sleep apnea, REM behavior disorder, or other disorders that happen at night that are less common that require an observational study. The process is an overnight test, usually done at night, but it doesn't have to be done at night. It can be accommodated for a patient that has sleep disorder at different times of the day. But generally, for example, somebody would show up to a sleep center at about nine o'clock at night. A technician is there and will stay with the patient all night long. There are a number of electrodes and devices that are attached to a patient. There's a two-way radio that you can talk to your technician and explain anything that might be bothering you. The Sleep Study monitors about 23 channels and a variety of things that are important to know at night, like your brain waves, what your eyes are doing, do you snore, how well you're breathing, whether it be a chest issue or an abdominal issue, and that's just a small version of what might be observed at a sleep center. A vast majority of insurance is covered sleep studies in one form or another. It's relatively easy to schedule sleep studies, as your doctor will tell you they'll take care of most of the work. At Hackensack Meridian, the patient essentially doesn't have to do anything but wait for a phone call. They're open seven days a week here at Hackensack Meridian. It shouldn't be too difficult to do. Most people can get a night they like in about two weeks or less.
