Delhi Sleep Clinics Launch Polysomnography Testing Starting This Month

Delhi's sleep clinics have added new testing slots for overnight studies this July, with AIIMS reporting a 20 percent rise in bookings since January.

Urban routines tied to long commutes and late work hours have pushed more people toward professional evaluation rather than self-diagnosis. The shift follows findings that irregular bedtimes disrupt recovery for those who train early at Lodi Garden or attend evening yoga at Nehru Park.

Clinics in South and Central Delhi

Patients can schedule studies at the Sleep Disorders Clinic inside AIIMS in Ansari Nagar or the dedicated lab at Max Super Speciality Hospital on Saket’s Press Enclave Road. Both sites run Monday through Saturday, with referrals accepted from general physicians across South Delhi neighbourhoods. The AIIMS unit uses standard electrode setups for breathing and movement tracking, while the Saket facility offers home-based portable monitors for those who prefer testing outside the hospital.

Local data from a 2025 Indian Council of Medical Research review placed average nightly sleep among Delhi adults at 6.1 hours, below the seven-hour threshold linked to metabolic strain. A full overnight polysomnography at either clinic starts at ₹14,500 and includes a follow-up consultation within seven days. Slots opened for July 12 onward after equipment upgrades completed last month.

Next Steps for Residents

Anyone experiencing persistent fatigue can request a referral from their neighbourhood clinic and confirm availability by phone before arriving. Clean-eating groups meeting near Connaught Place have begun sharing appointment checklists that list required documents such as recent blood work and medication lists. Those cleared for testing receive results that guide simple schedule adjustments, such as moving runs to Nehru Park’s shaded paths before sunrise.
