A Good Night’s Sleep is Essential
Getting a good night’s sleep is vital to your overall health and well-being. Poor sleep is more than an inconvenience — it can suggest a chronic or serious disorder that can produce life-threatening complications. We understand how frustrating sleep challenges can be and, more importantly, know how to diagnose any underlying medical conditions that may be the cause.
We provide a full range of diagnostic services to identify and treat disorders that prevent healthy, regular sleep. Our specially trained professionals offer consultations and sleep studies in comfortable, home-like environments using specialized equipment and technology to accurately diagnose sleep problems and recommend the correct treatment.
Signs of a sleep disorder include the following:
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Loud snoring
- Irritability at work or home
- Obesity
- Difficulty concentrating
- Awakening suddenly, gasping for air or choking
- Morning headaches
- Falling asleep while driving or working
- Dozing off while watching TV, reading, driving or other daily activities
- Hypertension
- Depression
- Kicking or twitching movements while asleep
- Restless limb movements
A physician who specializes in sleep medicine can diagnose and treat a variety of sleep-related disorders, including:
- Sleep apnea
- Restless legs syndrome
- Narcolepsy
- Insomnia
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- REM behavior disorders
Your physician may recommend a sleep study as your first step towards improving your sleep quality. A sleep study involves spending the night in our sleep lab, where special monitors are used to observe and record your sleep.
