Sleep disorders – a common problem
Unhealthy sleep and sleep deprivation are linked to heart disease, depression, obesity and lower life expectancy. Seventy million people suffer from chronic, severe sleep disorders in the United States alone. These include difficulties sleeping at night, problems with excessive daytime sleepiness or other medical problems that may occur or be increased during sleep.
Sleep disorders are usually medical conditions that cause difficulty going to sleep and/or staying asleep, and waking up unrefreshed. If you often feel sleepy during the day, you may have a sleep disorder. The most common sleep disorder is obstructed sleep apnea (or OSA). Other common sleep problems we diagnose and treat include insomnia, restless leg syndrome, periodic limb movement and narcolepsy.

Pre-Visit QuestionnaireSleep study details
An overnight sleep study is a way for our doctors to monitor you for one full night so they can determine why you aren't getting a good night's sleep.
The Sleep Center features comfortable and quiet rooms that are very much like your bedroom at home. Skilled sleep technicians will attach small sensors to you to monitor breathing, movement, oxygen levels and brain activity. Then, you go to sleep just like at home. Technicians will monitor you during the night and also video record you while you're sleeping to see how much you toss and turn. If you have trouble going to sleep in a strange environment, a doctor will provide a sleep aid. Our staff will provide complete instructions for your sleep study when you make an appointment, and they will be available before your appointment to answer any questions. After your study, your doctor will review all of the information and make a diagnosis. You will follow up with your sleep physician at his/her office to go over your results and/or treatment options.
