There are better nights of sleep ahead
At the CMC Sleep Disorders Center at Four Points by Sheraton, we focus on finding the reason you have difficulty sleeping, and then design an individualized plan for you. The CMC Sleep Lab is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and is run by Dr. Hafez Hayek, board-certified in sleep medicine, and credentialed sleep technicians and registered respiratory therapists.
With some of the most experienced sleep physicians and technical staff in the state, our sleep lab incorporates the latest technical equipment, with a soothing testing environment to ensure maximum patient care and comfort. Our sleep disorder facility has the benefits of promoting a productive, comfortable sleep environment with the amenities of a boutique hotel.
Why Conduct a Sleep Study in a Hotel?
Sleep studies have historically taken place within clinical sleep laboratories. These controlled environments allow clinicians to monitor your sleep patterns, brain waves, heart rate, breathing, and other physiological markers. However, clinical settings like this may inadvertently influence your sleep, potentially skewing the results.
Recognizing this limitation, Conway Medical Center is employing alternative environments that mimic the familiarity and comfort of home. The Four Points by Sheraton in Myrtle Beach, with its cozy rooms, plush beds, and quiet surroundings, offers accommodations for conducting sleep studies that reflect more natural sleep conditions.
Sleep Evaluation
A personal sleep evaluation is the first step to sleeping better. A sleep evaluation begins with an office visit with one of our sleep specialists. During this visit, an extensive health history, physical exam and interview will be conducted. If possible, bring your bed partner along for the interview as they can answer questions about your sleep patterns that many times you cannot.
Sleep Study
A sleep study is called a Polysomnogram or PSG. These tests are performed in our sleep center in a quiet, peaceful hotel-like room where we can monitor your brain waves and several parameters to detect sleep disorders. There is no pain involved during a sleep study and every effort to maintain your normal sleep routing is made during your stay.
When You Arrive
When you arrive at the Four Points by Sheraton in Myrtle Beach, you will check in at the front desk of the hotel. Notify staff that you are there for your CMC Sleep Study. You will be given a room key and room number. Report to your room and you will be greeted by a CMC Sleep Center clinician to walk you through your overnight stay and prepare you for your study. There is no pain involved during a sleep study and every effort to maintain your normal sleep routine will be made.
