- Increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, and obesity

Sleep Studies: Your First Step Toward Better Sleep
A sleep study (also known as polysomnography) is a non-invasive test that monitors your brain activity, breathing, heart rate, and movements during sleep. It’s the gold standard for diagnosing conditions like:
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
- Insomnia
- Narcolepsy
- Restless Leg Syndrome
- REM Behavior Disorder
At NY Metro Sleep, you can choose between in-lab testing or a convenient at-home sleep study near me. The clinic also offers low cost sleep study options to ensure accessibility for all patients.
What Should I Do Before Bed? Tips from Dr. Rampersaud
