Sleep Studies

Who we are.
The Illawarra Sleep Disorders Service has been servicing the Illawarra region for over 13 years. We provide a full range of diagnostic and treatment of all sleep disorders in both children and adults. The unit at Figtree Private Hospital is run under the supervision of Professor Graham Hart and Dr Terry Sands.

What is a Sleep Study?
An overnight sleep study or polysomnograph entails an overnight stay in our sleep unit. Each patient has a private room where you will be monitored for blood oxygen levels, breathing, sleep stages, snoring and other signs during sleep. The sleep study will be monitored by a fully trained and experienced Sleep Technologist (Registered Nurse).

You will be required to be at the hospital by 7.15pm and you will be discharged at 6.30am.

Bookings and Admission
Bookings for sleep studies can only be made after a consultation with one of the Specialist Sleep Physicians (referral from your General Practitioner is required).
Normal Pre-admission procedures apply.
