Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital

Sleep Center

The mission of the Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital Sleep Center is to provide excellent clinical care for infants, children and teenagers with sleep disorders, and to advance the understanding of pediatric sleep disorders through research.

The Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital Sleep Center, established in 1989, is dedicated to the comprehensive evaluation of respiratory and sleep disorders in infants and children up to the age of 18 years. The Center is located on the seventh floor of the Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital (YNHCH). Our friendly and experienced staff will engage and prepare your child for his or her sleep study. A bed for one parent in the child's room is also available.

The Center offers:

• State-of-the-art sleep monitoring equipment
• Registered polysomnographic sleep technicians with more than 15 years of experience in pediatric sleep studies
• The ability to evaluate children of all ages, including newborns, infants and children with complicated medical problems
• Pre-authorization from insurance carriers before the study
• A formal report that includes an interpretation of the study with recommendations, generated in a timely fashion and sent to your referring health care provider

We accept direct referrals from physicians for sleep studies. A comprehensive medical evaluation prior to a sleep study is available at the Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital Sleep Clinic, which is held twice a month. For more information about this service, contact Sumit Bhargava, MD, (203) 785-2480.
