Empower Sleep has been invaluable in providing me with personally tailored treatment and ongoing counsel related to my sleep issues. My primary care physician referred me to Empower in October 2024, after a home-test diagnosis of sleep apnea, and I have continued my membership with the concierge-model practice since then. I am able to keep in ready contact as needed with my Empower physician (Dr. Chopra), nurse practitioner (Keilah) and respiratory therapist / sleep coach (Cali), and all are consistently responsive, congenial, and eager to help. They are a highly qualified team. I particularly appreciate that the practice values engaging the patient as a partner in care, and they provide a great deal of helpful educational material to help foster this approach.

My sleep coaching call with Cali today was very detailed and informative. She was able to translate my sleep data into an explanation of my sleep apnea that I understood completely. She suggested a few simple solutions for me to try to help me reduce the number of incidents I experience in the night. She took time to understand my concerns. I plan on utilizing the ring with a few of the suggested solutions before just defaulting to a machine. I truly appreciate the opportunity to explore these options as I have found the machine I was previously prescribed by another Dr. did not help or solve my sleep apnea. The detailed information available during my week long sleep study after each recorded sleep session is providing an opportunity in real time to record the benefits of the sugges

I have had an excellent year working with the Empower Sleep team to address chronic sleep issues. From Operations team members to physicians, they are uniformly warm, caring, knowledgeable people who create a truly patient-centered care experience. As a retired physician I was eager to take a deep dive into the physiology, understanding of the metrics involved, and current research findings, and I've not been disappointed. In fact, I have signed up for a second year to follow up on some unanswered questions and because, well, I can't give them up! Highly recommended, especially for referring MD's looking for in-depth care for their patients.

I came to Empower Sleep with a borderline risk of sleep apnea. The team and their techniques were excellent in every way. Dr. Stacey Gunn and Sleep Coach Cali Bahrenfuss were absolute rock stars! They had suggestions that I listened to and my borderline case quickly became clearly negative for sleep apnea, which was wonderful as I had no ability to tolerate sleeping with CPAP. If you are frustrated by other sleep centers and practitioners, I highly recommend Empower Sleep, Dr. Gunn, and Cali!

I've had a rough journey treating my sleep apnea since having multiple ischemic strokes. The conventional treatment of in home sleep studies, plus eventually an in lab titration study over 2.5 years resulted in ineffective use of PAP therapy (CPAP and BIPAP). Dr Gunn and the team at Empower have been incredible. From tuning my PAP dynamically to meet me where I was (over many nights of data and testing), to switching to oxygen therapy has been game changing. They're always available when you need them and helped me find treatment that works best using their FDA-authorized sleepimage ring (which I still use to this day). After 6 months of oxygen therapy, I'm able to keep up with my two little kids and have learned to thrive again in life. All the services at Empower including medical, rx,

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