  • What We TreatWhat We Treat

  • Sleep disorders lead to sleep deprivation, which can negatively impact your brain, heart and entire system. Clinical studies have shown a link between certain sleep disorders and heart attacks, congestive heart failure, stroke, high blood pressure and type II diabetes.

  • Sleep apnea occurs when a person doesn't breathe normally during sleep. Warning signs are loud snoring and long pauses between breaths. The person may be sleepy enough during the day to fall asleep at work or at a stoplight.

  • Insomnia - trouble falling asleep or staying asleep - can be caused by stress, changing work schedule, lack of activity, or caffeine. Noise, light and illness can also disrupt sleep. Treatment of insomnia requires an informed doctor.

  • After you have been evaluated by a Sleep Specialist you may be referred to have a sleep study. You will arrive at the center around 8:30 pm so that the study can be performed during more typical sleeping hours. Our registered sleep technologist will ask you some questions about your daily activities, caffeine intake, and the quality of your sleep the night prior to the study.
