Solutions for any sleep problem you may have.

Once your sleep study is finished, we will review your test results and provide a written report to your doctor If your test reveals a sleep problem, you’ll feel confident knowing that we offer comprehensive treatment programs for a full range of sleep disorders. These include:

• Obstructive sleep apnea —
This potentially life-threatening disorder is linked to irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure and heart failure. Obstructive sleep apnea can cause you to involuntarily stop breathing for up to one minute while sleeping. Symptoms of this condition include loud snoring, pauses in breathing and daytime sleepiness. more>>

• Insomnia —
Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders. Not being able to fall asleep (or waking in the middle of the night and not being able to get back to sleep) causes serious anxiety and daytime sleepiness. Insomnia needs to be treated and is as serious as other sleep disorders. more>>

• Narcolepsy —
If you suffer from narcolepsy, you’ll find yourself suffering from “sleep attacks.” Other symptoms include cata-plexy, (which is a sudden loss of muscle function, sleep paralysis and frightening hallucinations).

• Parasomnias —
These are abnormal physical behaviors that occur while you sleep. They include sleepwalking, night-terrors and rhythmic movement disorder

• Hypersomnias — If you sleep too much, you might suffer from hypersomnia. Symptoms of hypersomnia include sleeping in too late, chronic depression, chronic fatigue, feelings of jet-lag, circadian rhythm disorders or medical illnesses.

• Delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS) — If you stay up extremely late, say until 2 a.m. to 4 a.m., and then sleep all morning and get up around noon, you may suffer from DSPS. This condition can cause daytime sleepiness and impaired performance at work or school. DSPS is common in teenagers, young adults and college students.

• Advanced sleep phase syndrome (ASPS) — This condition is characterized by falling asleep early, usually between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., and waking up before dawn. ASPS affects many adults over the age of 65.

• Restless legs syndrome (RLS) — This is an uncomfortable sleep disorder that causes cramping, burning and itching in the legs while resting or sitting for long periods of time. RLS can be so painful that it causes you to lose sleep. RLS affects children, pregnant women and most cases are in people aged 50 and older. more>>

• Periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS) — People who suffer from PLMS experience involuntary and repetitive leg jerking while sleeping.
