Sleep Disorders Center

The UCSF Sleep Disorders Center offers a comprehensive range of services and treatments for conditions such as sleep apnea, insomnia, periodic limb movements, restless legs syndrome, narcolepsy and snoring.

The center operates a sleep testing laboratory on the Mount Zion campus. UCSF renovated an entire wing of the hospital to provide a hotel-like feel for patients' overnight sleep tests.

Accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the center sees more than 2,000 patients a year.

We host an educational support group for people with obstructive sleep apnea and their families. Visit our support group page to learn more.
