Welcome from the Sleep-Wake Center Medical Director

The Sleep Wake disorders center at the University of Utah is a brand new, state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary facility. Located in the desirable Sugarhouse area in Salt Lake City, the U’s sleep program is one of the premier sleep programs in the state of Utah. The program has a robust clinical footprint extending to outreach locations such as South Jordan and Farmington. 

Our sleep team provides excellent and cutting-edge multidisciplinary care to sleep patients with various sleep disorders, such as sleep disordered breathing, parasomnias, and insomnia. A 12-bed sleep laboratory, accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, provides sleep testing such as in-laboratory polysomnograms, home sleep apnea testing and multiple sleep latency tests, ordered by our sleep providers to investigate various sleep disorders.

We offer a personalized approach to the treatment of sleep disorders, with the understanding that one size does not fit all. Our sleep providers work with patients to develop an individualized treatment plan which works best for them, based on shared decision making. 

The University of Utah’s sleep program also provides education to the next generation of sleep physicians and is home to a multidisciplinary sleep fellowship program. The sleep center is also involved in clinical research in sleep disorders and has been part of several exciting discoveries in the field of sleep medicine.

We welcome you to visit us at the Sleep Wake Center if you have any sleep complaints; together we can build restful nights and healthier futures!

Sincerely,

Chitra Lal, MD 
Sleep-Wake Center Medical Director
