Sleep Disorders & Symptoms
Sleep disorders generally cause difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or difficulty maintaining alertness during the day.
Common sleep disorders include Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), Restless Legs Syndrome, Periodic Limb Movement Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Narcolepsy, and Insomnia.
Symptoms of sleep disorders may include:
- Daytime sleepiness
- Snoring
- Morning headaches
- Frequent awakening with nasal congestion or gasping for air
- Awakening with dry mouth or sore throat
- Poor concentration
- Awakening frequently to urinate
- Irritability or moodiness
- Daytime tiredness or fatigue
- High blood pressure
- Heartburn at night
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Sleep study is a painless and non-invasive procedure. The sensors do not cause any discomfort or restrict movement during the procedure. A Technologist remains in the adjoining observation room throughout the testings process and will wake you in the morning. Most testing is performed during the night but some testings are done during the day according to the patient's symptoms and needs.
What Happens After Testing?
Upon completion of your sleep study, a sleep disorders specialist will provide your referring physician a final report with a diagnosis and treatment recommendations that may vary from simple lifestyle changes to medications.
Because each individual is different, evaluations and treatment plans are structured on a case-by-case basis.
Treatment Plans May Include:
- Behavior Modification
- Medication
- Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)
- Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP)
- Surgery
