Sleep Center

Nearly 70 million Americans of all ages suffer from a sleep disorder of some type. It's estimated that one in three people suffer from a mild case of insomnia: finding it hard to fall or stay asleep.

Some of the most common sleep disorders include:

• Circadian rhythm sleep disorders: trouble sleeping or waking on appropriate schedule
• Obstructive sleep apnea
• Insomnia
• Restless legs syndrome
• Narcolepsy
• REM behavior sleep disorders
• Parasomnias
• Insomnia
• Seizures
• Epilepsy
• Hypersomnia
• Sleep-related eating disorders

Our team is committed to providing comprehensive care to ensure you receive a good night's rest and improve your quality of life. Being evaluated as part of a thorough sleep study is one of the best ways to determine if you suffer from a sleep disorder. The study monitors your brain, heart, respiratory, and muscle activity during sleep.

With more than 80 different sleep disorders, our team works with specialists in various disciplines to create an individualized treatment plan for you.

If specialty care is recommended, our Sleep Center will coordinate follow-up care for you.

Our Sleep Center offers:

• Sleep evaluations in comfortable sleep laboratories for ages two and up
• Home sleep evaluations for adults with an option that comes in the mail
• Sleep lab result readings
• Ongoing monitoring
• Follow-up care
• Coordinated care with specialists, if needed

To treat the full breadth of sleep disorders, our team uses a variety of treatments, including both surgical and non-surgical procedures.

• Lifestyle management
• CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure)
• Oral appliances
• Surgery
• Sleep medications
• Bright light therapy
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

It’s normal for your child to have constantly changing sleep patterns from birth through the start of elementary school. After that, most children begin to sleep more soundly.

You should suspect a sleep disorder when your child deviates from their regular sleep pattern. Signs include the following:

• Loud snoring or struggling to breathe
• Trouble falling asleep
• Night awakenings
• Shifts in behavior, mood, or school performance
• Daytime sleepiness or hyperactivity
• Sleep disturbances from early childhood reappear (sleepwalking, sleep talking, night terrors, nightmares, confusion, bedwetting)

Talk with your child’s primary care provider if you have any concerns about sleep patterns or behaviors. You may receive a prescription for a pediatric sleep study or a referral to a pediatric sleep specialist.

We will collaborate with your child’s primary care provider throughout the process. And, if your child needs to follow up with a specialist, we schedule the appointment for you. Make an Appointment >>

About Pediatric Sleep Studies

We perform all pediatric studies in the safe, comfortable environment of our sleep laboratory as the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) recommends.

You will stay overnight with your child, and we encourage you to bring familiar items from home, such as a favorite stuffed animal or bedtime story.

In our lab, technicians will carefully place sensors on your child’s face, arms, legs, and stomach. A belt across the chest monitors breathing. Tests measure:

• Brain waves for seizures, brain activity
• Heart rate
• Oxygen levels and breathing
• Arm and leg movements

In addition to an overnight sleep study, your child may have multiple sleep latency testing (MSLT). A series of naps taken throughout the day, MSLT looks for an abnormal sleep pattern.
