Sleep Center
Sleep is essential to health. Our sleep center offers an array of tests to diagnose your condition so you can get the sleep you deserve.
Map & Directions
Our Sleep Center is located at 110 Kildaire Park Drive, suite 405 in the HealthPark at Kildaire, Building II, in Cary. This location is right across Kildaire Farm Road from WakeMed Cary Hospital and provides a safe and secure environment with easy access and convenient parking.
We offer sleep studies for adults and children. Though our pediatric sleep studies are very similar to our adult sleep studies, we boast a family-friendly environment and always treat kids like kids. Parents are welcome to remain overnight with their child.
WakeMed Sleep Center offers nine private bedrooms and bathrooms with walk-in showers. Each bedroom has:
- Spacious rooms and bathrooms with sleek décor fitting a luxury hotel room.
- Queen-size beds and recliners. Pediatric bedrooms have cribs or Murphy beds for the child and oversized recliners for the parent or guardian.
- Temperature room controls to set the ideal sleep temperature for you.
- Television with Spectrum cable channels.
Our Sleep Center also offers a nutrition center offering snacks, beverages (including morning coffee) and breakfast muffins and pastries.
During your sleep study, one of our pulmonary professionals will use the latest technology to monitor your brain waves, muscle activity, leg movements, heart rhythms and other body functions. Testing is completely painless. Data from your test is collected, scored and interpreted by a sleep specialist, and sent to your referring physician for recommended therapy. Study results are available to physicians within a matter of days.
