Everyone has the occasional sleepless night. But for people suffering from sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy, sleep terrors, or chronic insomnia, those sleepless nights can add up to a serious health issue.

The experts at Duke’s Sleep Disorders Center can help.

Duke Sleep Disorders Center

Duke’s state-of-the-art Sleep Disorders Center at Durham’s Millennium Hotel, open since November 2005, is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, as are all of our physicians.

The center is one of the few accredited centers to be housed in a hotel.  

This novel location allows for a more restful, comfortable night's sleep without the pressures of being in a hospital setting, all while having the technology and expertise you expect from Duke University Hospital.

Our patients rave about the environment and amenities associated with staying in a hotel.

Sleep Studies

The center specializes in polysomnography, diagnostic sleep testing also known as a sleep study.

Recognized as the gold standard in identifying significant sleep problems, sleep studies generally include overnight monitoring of:

• Airflow
• Blood oxygen level
• Blood pressure
• Brain wave pattern
• Electrocardiographic activity
• Movement of eyes, limbs, and muscles

When examined together, these components provide a comprehensive look at each patient's unique sleep patterns, as well as valuable insight into the origin of his or her sleep problems.

The Sleep Disorders Center also performs sleep latency testing and vigilance testing, and provides twice-weekly outpatient clinics to evaluate people suffering from all forms of sleep disorders.
