As one of the only comprehensive sleep care centers in the Western New York region, we are here to guide you in the right direction and make the process of seeking treatment for a sleep disorder easier. Western New York's most experienced physicians are ready to help you make an individualized, evidence-based treatment plan to address a wide variety of sleep disorders. With a broad range of UR Medicine experts on our sleep team, you can feel confident that you’re in good hands.

The staff at the UR Medicine Sleep Center is interested in addressing patients’ sleep concerns so they can optimize their sleep and function well during the day. Usually, a consultation with one of our providers will take 30 minutes to an hour. Depending on the nature of the concern, future appointments or testing may be necessary.

When a sleep study (polysomnogram) is appropriate, the center has an extensive facility for testing patients’ nighttime and daytime sleep. The private, clean, and comfortable bedrooms and our experienced technicians help to provide a good experience for our patients.

Test Guidelines

• Please arrive promptly at 7:30 p.m.
• Your hair should be clean and free of oils, gels, and mousse. Please remember that electrodes will be placed on your scalp using a white paste-like substance that hardens overnight. Therefore keep in mind that we will need to know in advance about any hair weaves, and/or hair pieces which would need to be removed to access the scalp.
• Proper and comfortable sleep attire is required. Men must wear both a top and a bottom, other than underwear. Women we suggest wearing something that is two-pieced (i.e. T-shirt and shorts or comfortable pants.) Slippers and robe for walking to and from bathrooms may also be helpful.
• Bring any medication you may need.
• You may feel more comfortable away from home with your own pillow. Please feel free also to bring in books or magazines for relaxation and to fill free time.
• We have a shower onsite and towels are provided. Bring any necessary personal toiletries (e.g., soap, shampoo, toothbrush).
• No smoking is allowed on the premises.
• Consume no alcoholic beverages or caffeinated beverages after twelve noon on the day of the study.
• Please remember clothing for the next day and plan to leave the center by 6:45 a.m.

While we try to make you as comfortable as possible, please remember this is a medical facility and there are specific policies we must follow to ensure your safety as a patient.
