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.
Carris Health Sleep Medicine provides 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.
