Sleep Study

Why Should I Have A Sleep Study?

Sleep Deprivation disturbs your daily functions and is a danger to your overall health. The data recorded in your sleep study is an objective look at your quality of sleep and is used to diagnose your sleep disorder.

Why I Should Do My Sleep Study at 4BetterSleep?

At 4BetterSleep, our Medical Director, P. Terrence Moore, M.D., is Board Certified in Neurology and Sleep Medicine. Because the brain controls and regulates sleep, Dr. Moore provides an unsurpassed knowledge of diagnosing not only sleep disorders, but neurological disorders that affect sleep.

Will I Be Able to Sleep?

The 4BetterSleep Lab is designed to be comfortable. Our registered technologists understand the importance of applying monitoring sensors in a manner that allows you to move during sleep.
