Highfields Sleep Lab

Highfields Sleep Lab is our specialist onsite facility for sleep studies.

Highfields Sleep Lab offers both home-based sleep studies and in-lab sleep studies. Sleep studies are frequently used to assist in the diagnosis of sleep disorders such as sleep apnoea, movement disorders and parasomnias. A sleep study is a non-invasive testing method that monitors what is happening in the body during sleep, including factors such as heart rate, brain wave activity, oxygen levels, eye movement, body movement, breathing and snoring.

We conduct home-based sleep studies, as well as In-lab based sleep studies either at the Port Macquarie Private Hospital or in our own sleep lab facility.

In-lab Based Sleep Study

Highfields Sleep Lab has the facilities to conduct in-lab sleep studies. The type of in-lab sleep study test may vary depending on the suspected diagnosis. A sleep technician will monitor the patient for the duration of the study and the study will be scored and a report generated by our specialist sleep medicine team.

How do I make an appointment for a sleep study?

Appointments require a referral from your GP or other medical practitioner. We will need to receive your referral before we can make the appointment for you. You can bring your referral into the practice, send it via email or fax, or have your doctor send your referral through on your behalf. Once we receive your referral, we will call you to book an appointment time.
