Untreated sleep disorders can increase your risk for serious health problems.

When you get restorative sleep again, your health, safety and daily life can improve.

Our approach to sleep medicine

When you are always tired, it can affect nearly every part of your life. Sleep disorders are depleting. Over time, poor sleep can weaken your immune system and make you more vulnerable to illness. If left unmanaged, sleep deficiency may contribute to mood changes, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and increased cancer risk.

At UCI Health, we tailor your care to the type of sleep disorder you have and how it affects your life. Our sleep medicine experts work closely with ENT specialists to consider the full spectrum of treatment options and build a plan around your lifestyle.

This collaboration is part of our Care Team of Excellence model. Our sleep medicine and ENT experts were the first on the West Coast to receive this recognition for exceptionally high standards of interdisciplinary care.

What we offer

We diagnose and treat:

• Sleep apnea
• Insomnia
• Narcolepsy
• Snoring
• Circadian rhythm sleep disorders
• Sleep-related movement disorders

At our sleep lab in Newport Beach, we provide in-lab sleep studies in private rooms supervised by trained, licensed professionals.   

Your doctor may order an overnight study or an eight- to 10-hour daytime study, depending on your needs. 

If an at-home sleep study is a better fit for you, we will provide the equipment you need. 

Sleep studies are painless and noninvasive. 

We also offer cognitive behavioral therapy and other treatments to help improve your sleep and daily functioning.

What to expect from your initial consultation

A consultation is an office visit with one of our sleep medicine physicians. Your doctor will review your medical history and sleep questionnaire and conduct a physical exam. We will ask you to describe your sleep issues as well as other related health conditions. We suggest that you prepare a list of questions and key issues you want to discuss before your appointment to ensure that all your questions are answered.

Next, your physician will work with you to develop a treatment plan, which may include an overnight sleep study to help diagnose your disorder. Some patients can do the sleep study at home, while others need to have it at our state-of-the-art sleep lab in Newport Beach.
