Do you sleep like a log but feel unrefreshed in the morning or tired during the day? Do you toss and turn all night? If so, you may be one of the almost 50 million Americans who suffer from a sleep disorder. Most are unaware of their problem and may only be alerted to it by a bed partner.
Symptoms typically include:
- Snoring
- Gaps or irregularities in breathing during sleep
- Unrefreshed sleep
- Daytime sleepiness and napping
- Restless sleep
- Difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep
- Painful or crawling sensations in legs while sitting quietly or lying in bed
- Jerking of limbs, particularly legs, during sleep
- Vivid, frightening, or violent dreams
Treatment and Evaluation:
If you experience some of these symptoms, it's time to wake up to the problem. Diagnosis and treatment of your sleep disorder is as close as your doctor. Our Sleep Centers offer multiple testing procedures for patients including:
- Overnight sleep studies
- Studies to treat sleep-related breathing disorders and determine setting for devices that assist with sleep-related breathing (CPAP/BiLevel/ASV)
- Daytime studies to evaluate sleepiness and ability to maintain wakefulness
- Portable Home Sleep Testing
- Monitoring sleep/wake behavior, circadian rhythms and daytime physical activity
Our goal is to utilize these studies to optimize our sleep medicine practice to the provide the high value and patient-center care for correct diagnosis and optimal treatment.
