Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center

The Johns Hopkins Sleep Medicine Program began in the mid-1970s, when a sleep research laboratory was established within the Department of Psychiatry at Baltimore City Hospitals (now Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center).

The Johns Hopkins Sleep Disorders Center now specializes in the evaluation of all types of sleep disorders including sleep disordered breathing, narcolepsy and disorders of hypersomnia, insomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, parasomnias and sleep-related movement disorders, such as restless legs syndrome. In addition, a behavioral medicine clinic is available for insomnia patients who may benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy. Clinic physicians are certified in Sleep Medicine by the American Board of Sleep Medicine (ABSM).

Sleep Laboratory Testing

A complete array of sleep laboratory testing is provided in two convenient ABSM-accredited laboratories in the Johns Hopkins Asthma and Allergy Center and the Johns Hopkins Outpatient Center. The sleep laboratories provide all types of diagnostic and therapeutic sleep procedures including overnight polysomnography, CPAP and bi-level positive airway pressure titrations, multiple sleep latency testing and maintenance of wakefulness testing for adults.

In-laboratory testing is complemented by portable sleep study monitoring, which is provided for in-patients at The Johns Hopkins Hospital and Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. Finally, research studies are conducted by the Sleep Core Laboratory of the General Clinical Research Center at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center.

New patients should bring a completed Sleep Questionnaire and Sleep Log to their clinic or laboratory visit.
