BMC’s Yawkey building doors are now closed as an entrance as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our campus and provide you with the best clinical care.

All patients and visitors on our main campus must enter our hospital via Shapiro, Menino, or Moakley buildings, where they will be greeted by team members at a new centralized check-in desk before continuing to the hospital. We are excited to welcome you and appreciate your patience as we improve our facilities.

Sleep Evaluation


A sleep evaluation, also known as polysomnography or a sleep study, is used to diagnose sleep disorders or determine a treatment plan. During a sleep study, you'll sleep while your brain waves, oxygen level, heart rate, and breathing are measured. 

Sleep studies can also be used to look at how another condition, such as epilepsy, affects your sleep.

Many sleep studies are done in a sleep lab, but they can be done at home in some cases.
