Sleep center If you or someone you love is experiencing a sleep problem, call Lexington Neurosciences Center to schedule a sleep consultation. You or your referring physician can schedule an appointment.

During your initial visit or consultation the sleep specialist will take you through a sleep history and a brief physical exam to determine whether additional testing is necessary. If necessary, you will be scheduled for an overnight sleep study.

Overnight sleep studies are conducted in our comfortable, home-like and private sleep suites. After our sleep specialists evaluate the results of your sleep study, they will develop a plan to put you on the road to healthy sleep again.
