The Sleep Clinic, located at 1365 Washington Ave. in Albany, features four patient rooms designed to provide overnight sleep-study patients with the most comfortable experience possible. Using state-of the-art equipment and technologies, including advanced sleep diagnostic software, sleep technicians monitor patients' heart, brain waves, breathing patterns, oxygen levels and more throughout the night.
A variety of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) masks to help patients with obstructive sleep apnea breathe more easily during sleep are also available for patient use. In addition, technicians are trained to titrate the Inspire Upper Airway Stimulation device for sleep apnea, as part of an overnight sleep study. All data collected during overnight sleep studies is reviewed by physicians the following day.
Patients who are interested in visiting the Sleep Clinic are encouraged, but not required, to get a referral from their primary care physician. Individuals should check with their insurance companies to ensure medical coverage of services provided.
We provide the full spectrum of sleep medicine care at the Saratoga Hospital Center for Sleep Disorders, located at 19 West Avenue in Saratoga.

We provide specialty care to patients with all forms of sleep disorders, including sleep apnea, narcolepsy, insomnia, circadian rhythm disorder, REM behavior disorder, and parasomnia, among others. In fact, there are about 70 different sleep disorders we diagnose and treat.
