Sleep Lab
Over 70 million Americans suffer from more than 80 types of sleep disorders. A sleep disorder can impact relationships, health, daily activities and driving skills. The Sleep Lab at HMC is here to help if you suffer from a sleep disorder.
The most common sleep disorder is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). People suffering from OSA stop breathing, often hundreds of time a night, which disrupts their sleep and puts them at a higher risk for uncontrolled hypertension, heart attacks and stroke. Common symptoms of OSA include:
- Excessive daytime sleepiness (falling asleep at inappropriate times)
- Loud snoring
- Obesity
- High blood pressure
- Waking from sleep choking or gasping for air
- Morning headaches
- Loss of sex drive
- Depression
Other sleep disorders are:
- Narcolepsy – frequent attacks of drowsiness and sleepiness
- Insomnia – inability to initiate or maintain sleep
- Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD)/Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) – twitching of the legs and sometimes arms or creepy/crawly feelings in the legs
- Parasomnias – disorder that includes sleep walking, bed wetting, teeth grinding and night terrors
Sleep disorders are diagnosed through several methods and may include one or more nights and/or
days of sleep testing.
- Sleep study or nocturnal polysomnogram (NPSG) is an overnight test that looks at a person’s brain waves, air flow, oxygen level, heart rhythm, and is performed at a person’s routine bed time.
- Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) measures daytime sleepiness and consists of five 20-minute naps throughout the day following a sleep study.
- Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure study (CPAP) or Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure study (Bi-PAP) is a non-invasive treatment requiring a second sleep study to determine the appropriate amount of pressure to eliminate apnea and snoring.
- Children can also suffer from sleep disorders which can result in learning difficulties, slow growth and hyperactivity. Children six and older may receive treated at Henry Medical Center’s Sleep Lab.
