Baystate Regional Sleep Program (BRSP) is the largest and most advanced in Western Massachusetts, and is staffed with physicians board-certified in neurology, pulmonology and sleep medicine, plus highly trained and registered sleep technologists. We exclusively offer 16-channel polysomnography studies, the gold standard according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

In addition, Baystate Medical Center (BMC) is the only center in the region that offers pediatric sleep studies under the direction of a board certified pediatric neurologist. We make a special effort to ensure the comfort of our youngest patients. Our two dedicated child-friendly rooms can accommodate a recliner or chair-bed for a parent, and feature fun artwork and other amenities. We encourage child patients to bring their favorite toys, blankets, and DVDs. BMC also offers electromyography (EMG) evaluations for a variety of neuromuscular disorders.

Excessive drowsiness during the day and constant exhaustion may be due to an undiagnosed sleep disorder, like sleep apnea or narcolepsy. Sleep problems can lead to everything from trouble focusing at work to being unable to enjoy life to the fullest.

A Safe and Homelike Setting
At our sleep centers our specialists observe your sleep behaviors and habits and measure different components of your sleep experience.
- You spend the night in a home-like sleep room that features soothing décor and amenities with reduced outside light and noise so you can feel comfortable and relaxed.
- Observations enable staff to determine whether or not you have a sleep disorder and, if so, to prescribe remedies that will improve your rest and quality of life.
- All of our rooms offer you control over virtually every aspect of your sleeping environment, including temperature, lighting, and bed adjustments. Each room features a flat screen television and DVD player (bring your own DVDs or choose from our library). And nearly every room has a private bathroom and shower.
You can also be assured of the utmost safety during your study because you are cared for by registered sleep technologists who are highly trained. And since each center is located within a hospital setting, you have the comfort of knowing that should a medical emergency arise during your study, the full resources of the entire hospital are only steps away.
