I think that I caught it on a very busy and full of untrained employees. I waited over two hours to get all set up. I tried not to fall asleep waiting, and was kind of admonished for it whe I did. Getting up to relieve myself once that night was treated as if I was really putting out their staff. I may have gotten 3 hours of sleep in total. I never went back to get my results because it was a night like no other I had had. The person who tended to me was being trained, which is understandable. It hurt having the apparatus put on and take off. They also left enough glue to me that it was still on me for three days, and I swim an hour a day. Just bad in every way. Perhaps I caught them on their worst day.

My sleep tech Joyce was INCREDIBLE!!! I was so terrified of this study, between having a fear of doctors and separation anxiety I went in so afraid but she made the experience comfortable and made me feel safe. She is patient on another level, if you get her as your sleep tech she will do everything in her power to help you. Unfortunately I didn't catch the man's name, but the gentleman at the front desk was super helpful and understanding. I had some miscommunications about my billing and he was able to resolve them no issue. I brought a luggage full of blankets and enough water to get me through an apocalypse and there was ZERO judgement from the staff. This is a loving place that simply wants the best for their patients. Couldn't recommend more.

Great experience my first sleep study. Tina was my technician and help her. Tina and staff did a amazing job. The room was very up to date and the bed was very comfortable. I will work for family and friends to the millennium hotel a.k.a. Duke Sleep Study which is on the fourth floor.

Still has egregious, poor scheduling. These reviews aren't fake! You WILL be jumping through hoops for months like you're in a circus. It will really have you rather die than try to get help. Duke in general think give up on since everywhere is a 1-6 month wait. It took me probably around a year to get to this point. The staff and rooms are nice though!

The new sleep lab is wonderful! The beds are comfortable, and the rooms are like a nice hotel. Of course the test itself (and the EEG glue) isn't fun but that's par for the course. Any of the reviews before February 2023 are of the temporary hospital location or the old location at the Millennium Hotel.

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 Sleep Disorders Center
What does Duke Sleep Disorders Center do?
Duke Sleep Disorders Center is a sleep medicine clinic in Durham, 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 Sleep Disorders Center?
Many insurance plans require a referral or prior authorization before covering a sleep study. Requirements vary by insurer and by clinic, so contact Duke Sleep Disorders Center directly using the phone number on this page and ask what your plan needs.
How much does a sleep study cost at Duke Sleep Disorders Center?
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 Sleep Disorders Center?
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.
