I came here for my first ever in-person sleep study. I had previously done an at-home test. The staff was great. Nettie was kind, helpful and attentive. They had condiments available, and brought me an orange juice in the morning. It was my first time wearing a cpap and all the equipment so that was an interesting experience.

When we took the report to my wife's doctor, she was astounded. She said that sleep study labs are supposed to provide you with follow up advice and recommendations. That had indeed been our experience when we did our first sleep studies at another lab ten years ago. Duke-Raleigh does not do any follow up (we checked) but simply send a report to your primary doctor who is usually not a sleep specialist. I would not use this lab again.

I also did not have a great experience with Dr. Pugh. Long story short, he explicitly said that the at home sleep tests are not completely accurate, said that caffeine is a good alternative for wakefulness, stated they only test for narcolepsy or any other serious disorders if they're the worst cases.. Spent $500 (after insurance) to be told I need to fix myself and was given essentially a shrug and a good luck.. During the initial meeting to go over my "results" I had to actually ask him to go over what the results were and what they meant.. I had to control the meeting because he just didn't seem to have much of any idea what was going on.. Would def NOT recommend coming here for help. Also:: His reviews at Duke Pulmonary (his primary) are no better!

I hate giving bad reviews, but Dr. Pugh is worth it. I filed a complaint with his office and Duke Health last year about poor service and unrealistic expectation last year, and never heard anything back. Today I got a debt collection letter for amount owed. No notice, warning, anything.

The on site staff were communicative, friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They anticipated needs and set a relaxing environment to ensure accurate test results.

What to expect at a sleep study appointment
For an in-lab study, you arrive in the evening and sleep in a private room while sensors record breathing, oxygen, heart rhythm and body movement. For a home sleep test, the clinic gives you a portable kit you use in your own bed. Neither test is painful. Results are usually compiled into a physician report within one to two weeks, and the clinic then discusses whether treatment — such as CPAP therapy or an oral appliance — is needed.
Preparation basics: avoid caffeine in the afternoon, skip lotions and hair products, bring comfortable sleepwear, and take your regular medications unless your doctor advises otherwise.

Frequently asked questions about Duke Raleigh Sleep Laboratory
What does Duke Raleigh Sleep Laboratory do?
Duke Raleigh Sleep Laboratory is a sleep medicine clinic in Raleigh, NC that evaluates and treats sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea, chronic insomnia, restless legs syndrome and narcolepsy. Evaluation usually involves a sleep study, and treatment may include CPAP therapy, an oral appliance, or behavioral therapy depending on the diagnosis.
Do I need a referral to book a sleep study at Duke Raleigh Sleep Laboratory?
Many insurance plans require a referral or prior authorization before covering a sleep study. Requirements vary by insurer and by clinic, so contact Duke Raleigh Sleep Laboratory directly using the phone number on this page and ask what your plan needs.
How much does a sleep study cost at Duke Raleigh Sleep Laboratory?
Sleep study costs vary widely with the type of test, your insurance plan and your deductible. Home sleep tests generally cost less than in-lab studies. Ask the clinic for an itemized estimate and check with your insurer about in-network rates before booking.
Does insurance cover sleep studies and CPAP treatment?
Most US insurers, including Medicare, cover sleep studies and CPAP therapy when they are medically necessary and properly documented. Coverage details — deductibles, co-pays and supply replacement schedules — differ by plan, so verify with your insurer and the clinic.
How long does it take to get sleep study results?
Typically one to two weeks. A sleep physician reviews the recorded data and writes a report, after which the clinic discusses the findings and any recommended treatment with you.
Can I do the sleep study at home?
Possibly. Home sleep apnea tests suit many adults with a high likelihood of obstructive sleep apnea and no major heart or lung conditions. If your symptoms are complex or the home test is negative despite strong symptoms, an in-lab study is usually the next step. The clinic can determine which option fits you.
What should I bring to my appointment at Duke Raleigh Sleep Laboratory?
Comfortable sleepwear, your photo ID and insurance card, a list of current medications, and your own pillow if that helps you sleep. Avoid caffeine after midday and skip lotions or hair products, because sensors attach better to clean skin.
