Accurate Sleep Apnea Diagnosis in Seattle, WA
From home sleep testing to in-lab sleep studies, we provide expert sleep medicine solutions for restful sleep.
Understanding Sleep Apnea Diagnosis
How our Seattle sleep centers help you.
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. Untreated sleep apnea can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and metabolic disorders.
At Washington Center for Sleep, Dr. Koogler helps patients identify obstructive sleep apnea or other sleep conditions with a personalized diagnosis. Using home sleep testing or in-lab sleep studies, we evaluate your sleep cycle, nighttime breathing, and symptoms like loud snoring, morning headaches, or excessive daytime sleepiness.
Getting the first step in diagnosis is key to achieving better sleep, improved overall health, and relief from sleep problems.
Benefits of Sleep Apnea Diagnosis in Seattle
How identifying sleep apnea can improve your life.
Better Sleep Quality
Accurate diagnosis allows Dr. Koogler to create a treatment plan that helps restore restful sleep. Properly addressing your sleep conditions reduces nighttime awakenings, improves your sleep cycle, and leads to a better night's sleep every night.
Reduced Health Risks
Untreated sleep apnea contributes to heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and diabetes. Early diagnosis and treatment help manage these health issues and prevent long-term complications, protecting your overall health.
Relief From Excessive Daytime Sleepiness
Sleep apnea often causes morning fatigue and irritability. Treating sleep apnea or related sleep disorders reduces daytime sleepiness, improving focus, mood, and your ability to enjoy life and daily activities.
Custom Treatment Options
After diagnosis, Dr. Koogler provides tailored treatment options such as CPAP therapy, oral appliance therapy, lifestyle changes, or in-lab sleep studies. This ensures a comfortable approach for treating snoring, apnea, or restless leg syndrome.

Sleep apnea can affect anyone, but certain patients may notice more common symptoms or risk factors. If you experience loud snoring, morning headaches, excessive daytime sleepiness, or have a bed partner noticing your breathing stops at night, a sleep study may be the first step toward relief.
Dr. Koogler evaluates your sleep patterns, overall health, and lifestyle to determine if home sleep testing or in-lab sleep studies are right for you.
Early diagnosis helps prevent complications from untreated sleep apnea and restores better sleep for a healthier life.
