Long Beach Sleep Clinics Offer Expanded Sleep Study Slots on Atlantic Avenue and in Bixby Knolls
MemorialCare and Harbor Sleep Institute have added overnight testing capacity as residents seek evaluations for disrupted rest patterns.
How we reported this
MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center logged 312 overnight sleep studies in the second quarter of 2026, up from 248 during the same period last year.
Long Beach residents face irregular sleep schedules tied to port shift work and summer heat that lingers past midnight along the coast. Local clinics report more calls from people in Belmont Shore and downtown who wake repeatedly and want objective data before trying lifestyle changes.
Clinic Locations and Services
The Sleep Center at MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center sits at 2801 Atlantic Avenue and runs polysomnography tests six nights a week. Staff there monitor brain waves, oxygen levels, and leg movements in private rooms equipped with hospital-grade beds. Two miles east, the Harbor Sleep Institute on Atlantic Avenue near Bixby Knolls opened an additional two-bed lab in May and now accepts referrals for home-based oximetry kits that patients pick up at the front desk.
Both sites coordinate with primary-care doctors in the East Village and Los Altos neighborhoods to review results within five business days. MemorialCare charges $1,850 for a standard in-lab study when patients lack insurance coverage, while Harbor Sleep Institute lists a $1,650 fee for the same service and offers a $450 add-on for daytime multiple sleep latency testing.
Next Steps for Residents
Anyone experiencing loud snoring, morning headaches, or daytime fatigue can call either clinic for a physician referral packet. Appointments for July testing at MemorialCare remain open through the end of the month, and Harbor Sleep Institute holds walk-in slots for kit pickup on weekday mornings before 10 a.m. A follow-up visit with a board-certified sleep specialist at either location completes the process and outlines next steps such as CPAP titration or simple adjustments to bedroom temperature and light exposure.
