Sleep Center

Specialty Care

Opening Summer 2024

 

If you experience trouble sleeping, and this problem affects your overall health or quality of life, you may benefit from a sleep study. Our state-of-the-art Sleep Center offers sleep studies for those who have trouble falling asleep, wake up frequently, snore, or have other symptoms of a sleep disorder.

What Does a Sleep Study Measure?

The most widely used type of sleep study is a polysomnogram. While you sleep in what seems like a nice hotel room, a member of our team is in a nearby room recording your brain activity as well as selected information from your body. Together, this information provides a detailed picture of your unique sleep patterns—including how much time you spend in light and deep stages of sleep, whether you’re receiving enough oxygen, how often you awaken (even slightly), and whether your sleep is disrupted by factors such as arm and leg movements.

After the study, a board-certified sleep physician analyzes the data collected to diagnose any sleep disorders. Based on the diagnosis, the physician will discuss treatment options with you. Treatments can range from lifestyle changes, like improving sleep hygiene or adjusting sleep schedules, to medical interventions such as Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy for sleep apnea, medication for narcolepsy, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia,  or even surgery in certain cases.

Our sleep center also provides follow-up support to adjust treatments as needed, and to help manage any underlying conditions effectively.
