Sleep Disorders Center and Clinic

Lifespan Sleep Disorders Center

The Lifespan Sleep Disorders Center, a program of Rhode Island Hospital and Hasbro Children’s Hospital, is the region's leading muti-site, electronically linked sleep disorders center. The clinics—along with sleep testing labs in East Providence and East Greenwich—provide diagnosis and treatment of multiple sleep disorders and medical consultations. Accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) for over 35 years, the program serves patients ages seven and older, though pediatric patients must meet specific criteria. The program at Hasbro Children’s Hospital provides consultation and sleep studies on all children and children one to six years of age. Those with complex medical conditions will have sleep studies performed at the hospital.

Our team consists of:

• Board-certified sleep specialists with backgrounds in internal medicine, pulmonary medicine, pediatrics, and psychiatry
• Nurse practitioners
• Behavioral psychologists
• Board-certified, registered sleep technologists

Highly trained in the field of sleep medicine, these specialists will help diagnose sleep problems and work with your physician to treat your condition and improve your health.
