Getting a good night sleep is essential to your well-being. People who have problems falling asleep, staying asleep or staying awake need specialized care. Sleep disorders may be caused by a number of different health issues such as menopause, depression, anxiety, sleep apnea and neurological conditions. 

Maine Medical Center provides comprehensive sleep testing services managed by board certified physicians with special training in neurology and sleep medicine. We will work with you to diagnose the cause of your sleep disorder and develop a treatment plan that meets your unique needs and preferences.

The Maine Sleep Institute

The Maine Sleep Institute is an eight-bed facility in Portland, Maine that specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of sleeping and waking disorders in both adults and children. Our comfortable sleep study rooms feature full-sized sleep number beds, cable TV, evening snacks and handicapped-accessible showers.

Our sleep care team includes board certified sleep physicians, registered respiratory therapists, and registered polysomnographic technologists. We use advanced diagnostic technology to monitor you while you sleep. Your sleep study or polysomnogram will include a recording of bio-data used to identify different sleep stages and classify various sleep problems.

It's a simple and painless procedure that will measure your brainwaves, heart beats, leg and eye movements, muscle tension, airflow, chest and abdominal breathing and blood oxygen levels while you sleep. Audio and digital monitoring is also used to determine movement, position changes and snoring.

The Maine Sleep Institute is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
