睡眠障碍

Several 约健康 hospitals staff and maintain state-of-the art sleep diagnostic facilities. A patient’s sleep study is performed in a special sleep room, comfortably designed to make the patient feel at home. Tests involve one or two sessions of monitoring nighttime and, in some cases, daytime naps. 约健康 睡眠中心s use a multidisciplinary approach to resolving sleep or wake disorders.

Typical signs of a sleep disorder include difficulty falling asleep at night, waking many times during the night, pauses in breathing while asleep, and fatigue during the day. The most common sleep disorders are:

• 睡眠呼吸暂停
• 失眠
• 猝睡症
• Restless leg syndrome

A sleep disorder can keep you up all night and leave you feeling groggy during the day, but it is more serious than that. Bad sleep can disrupt your quality of life and overall health. Lack of sleep has been associated with increased risk of heart disease, 体重增加, loss of motor skills, decreased attention and concentration. Sleepless nights have many causes and should not be ignored.

Sleep problems affect people of all 年龄s, from children to seniors. Although more than 70 million Americans suffer from a sleep disorder, many aren’t even aware of it. 病人 often are referred to their physician for a sleep study because their snoring disrupted the sleep of others sleeping nearby, even though the ‘sleeper” wasn’t aware.

If you think that you or a loved one has a sleep problem, please talk to your doctor or contact the 约健康 sleep center nearest you.
