The University of Michigan Sleep Disorders Center is one of the nation’s leading programs, and among the oldest and largest, with nearly 10,000 clinic visits and about as many sleep studies conducted each year.

The U-M Sleep Disorders Center has three locations in order to diagnose and treat patients who have problems with their sleep or daytime alertness.  We can assist with several dozen types of sleep disorders, including: 

• Obstructive sleep apnea
• Chronic insomnia
• Excessive sleepiness
• Narcolepsy
• Restless legs syndrome
• Idiopathic hypersomnia – daytime sleepiness without an obvious cause
• Circadian rhythm sleep disorders, including delayed sleep phase syndrome
• Parasomnia – behaving in a way that’s undesirable during sleep, such as sleepwalking

Once a diagnosis is made, a wide range of effective treatment strategies are available. The majority of sleep problems can be improved, controlled, or eliminated.

If you think you might have a sleep disorder and need to be evaluated, please call 734-936-9068 to schedule a consult with one of our specialists. Depending on your insurance type, a referral from your primary care physician may be required to schedule the consult, so please check with your insurance representative prior to calling for a consult.

Once you have scheduled your consult, please complete the appropriate questionnaire using: MyUofMHealth.org (If you do not have access to the Patient Portal, then please print and complete the "New Patient Sleep Health Questionnaire" form below, and bring it with you to your consult appointment)

If a sleep study is scheduled, after your consult, then please return to MyUofMHealth.org for an additional questionnaire (If you do not have access to the Patient Portal, then please print and complete the  "Sleep Questionnaire" form below, and bring it with you to your sleep study appointment)

Sleep Clinic and Labs

Our Center includes a number of general and specialized sleep disorder clinics and laboratories.  The Michael S. Aldrich Sleep Disorders Laboratory is where many of the overnight sleep studies take place and where many of our clinics are held.  The University of Michigan Sleep Disorders Laboratory at the KMS Building on South State Street is a second location for sleep studies.  A third facility at Domino’s Farms offers sleep clinic visits as well as overnight studies.  We recognize that coming to a strange place to sleep can be difficult.  Our specialized sleep technologists are highly experienced and help to make the testing process comfortable. The University of Michigan also offers home sleep apnea testing under appropriate circumstances.  When you are evaluated in our clinic, we can determine whether home testing may be an option for you to consider. Our laboratories use standard guidelines published by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, but beyond that we offer some specialized approaches not found at many other programs. Beyond just testing for sleep disorders, we also work with patients to ensure that treatments are effective. We follow up with patients regularly over time, in situations where primary care physicians may not be familiar with sleep disorders or prefer that a specialist be involved in the long-term care of the sleep disorder.
