Manila Sleep Clinics Now Offer Overnight Assessments for Residents

Manila residents can book overnight sleep studies at two established clinics this month, with appointments filling faster than in prior years.

Interest in these services has grown because irregular work schedules and dense urban living continue to disrupt rest for many adults in the metro area. A 2025 Philippine Sleep Society report found 45 percent of respondents in Metro Manila reported symptoms of insomnia at least three nights weekly, up from 38 percent two years earlier.

Clinic Options in Key Areas

The Sleep Disorders Unit at Makati Medical Center on Amorsolo Street in Makati offers polysomnography tests that track breathing, heart rate and movement from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Patients receive results within 48 hours and can schedule follow-up visits with a pulmonologist on site. In Quezon City, the Sleep Center at St. Luke's Medical Center on E. Rodriguez Sr. Boulevard runs similar studies and includes a daytime multiple sleep latency test for those suspected of narcolepsy. Both locations accept walk-in inquiries on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Costs start at PHP 14,500 for a standard overnight study at either facility, with additional fees of PHP 3,000 if oxygen titration is required during the session. The centers report that roughly 60 percent of patients who complete a study receive a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea or restless leg syndrome and begin treatment within two weeks.

Next Steps for Residents

Anyone considering a study should first consult a primary care physician for a referral, which most insurance plans in the city now cover in part. Simple tracking of bedtime routines for one week before the appointment often speeds up the intake process at both clinics. Updated schedules for July and August are posted on the hospitals' websites each Monday morning.
