Clinical Associates Institute of Sleep Medicine Are you having trouble sleeping at night? Are you still tired when you wake up in the morning? Do you feel tired and out of sorts most days? Is snoring loudly a problem for you and those that sleep with you? It could be that you are suffering from a disease known as Sleep Apnea. Not only will you experience many of the symptoms that are detailed above, but the lack of proper sleep has also been shown to have an adverse effect on life expectancy. What is sleep apnea? Sleep apnea is a disorder in which someone has one or more pauses in breathing while they are asleep. He or she usually stops breathing for 10 to 60 seconds or longer, and this can occur between five or thirty times within an hour. The sleeper will often wake up with a loud snort of jerking motion as he or she gasps for air. This leads to increased fatigue and sleepiness during the day. How we treat sleep apnea Fortunately, this disease can be treated quickly and effectively by our board certified sleep medicine providers. These providers will meet with you and do an initial examination. In many cases, they will recommend a sleep study at our state of the art Sleep Institute. Our Sleep Institute is equipped with the latest in sleep technology and is also furnished in a way that will help you feel as if you are in your own home. Should the study reveal that you need sleep equipment to assist you in breathing, you will be fitted for the equipment in our office. After a study and proper treatment of your condition, you should begin to feel refreshed and full of energy as you go through each day!
