Sleep Disorders
Approximately 15% of the general population suffers from sleep disorders.
Insomnia is the most prevalent followed by sleep apnea.
Symptoms that may indicate a sleep disorder:
- Daytime sleepiness and generally tired all the time
- Restless sleep at night
- Bedcovers are in disarray upon waking
- Snoring that rouses you or others in your household
- Suddenly awoken gasping for breath
- Difficulty concentrating or poor memory
If you can identify with any of these symptoms, you may have a treatable
sleeping disorder.
Sleep affects your quality of life.
Sleep Study Programs
We offer sleep study programs and can perform a diagnostic sleep study
to help explain your symptoms.
Registered Technological Sleep Staff attends and reports on your sleep
study data.
When participating in a sleep study,
altitude matters. It is highly recommended to participate in a study at the altitude in
which you live for the best results.
