What is a sleep disorder?
If you suffer from a sleep disorder, the odds are you don't know it unless your bed partner has complained to you. Your bed partner probably will see the symptoms before you do. Symptoms can include:
- Periods observed by your bed partner during which you stop breathing
- Snoring
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Fatigue
- Loss of concentration
- Irritability
- Morning headaches
- Restless sleep
- Frequent nighttime urination
- Falling asleep at inappropriate times
- Frequent awakening
- Involuntary night time leg movements
Any of these taken together means it's time to wake up to the problem. Diagnosis and treatment of your sleep disorder is as close as the telephone. Call your physician or the Center for Sleep Medicine now.
Are sleep disorders serious?
Nearly one out of every 10 Americans experiences chronic, debilitating and perhaps life-threatening sleep disorders. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is one of the most common sleep disorders. Sleep apnea refers to episodes during which you stop breathing for 10 seconds or longer. You can do this hundreds of times each night without being aware of the episodes. When you suffer from sleep apnea, oxygen levels in the body fall and sleep may be disrupted by arousals. Loud, irregular snoring is usually the most noticeable sign of this disorder. OSA has been associated with high blood pressure, headaches, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction (heart attack), chronic fatigue and even death. It can become more severe over time.
What should I do?
See your physician. He or she can order a sleep study. The sleep study, called a polysomnogram, will help diagnose the severity and type of sleep apnea or other disorder. If you don't have a physician, call the Center for Sleep Medicine at 845-294-4857 for an appointment with one of our sleep specialists.
What is a sleep study?
A polysomnogram, or sleep study, is a painless, non-invasive test. All you have to do is spend one night with us sleeping. While you sleep, specially trained technicians will monitor your breathing, heart rate, oxygen levels in your blood, eye movement, muscle tone and other factors. The information will be gathered and recorded throughout the night for one evening. The test is performed at the Center for Sleep Medicine at the Arden Hill campus in Goshen. This state-of-the-art facility offers the latest technology in diagnosing sleep disorders in a comfortable setting. Most insurance are accepted.
On the evening of the study, you will arrive at the Center between 7 and 9 p.m. Your room will resemble a private bedroom with television and private bath. Once you've settled in, the technologist will connect you to monitoring equipment via stick-on electrode patches. In the morning, you may shower in a private bath and enjoy a complimentary continental breakfast before resuming your normal activities.
What happens next?
Your physician will receive a written report of your sleep study results. He or she will explain the results and discuss your treatment options. Correcting your sleep disorder may involve weight loss, medications, equipment to help you breathe during sleep, surgery, or a dental appliance.
