Don’t lose another minute of sleep. A good night’s rest is directly related to your overall
health. If you have a sleep disorder or think you might, talk with your doctor to see about
getting help, or call the Center for Sleep Disorders. Sleep issues can dramatically affect your quality of life.
 A good night’s rest is directly related to your overall health and well-being. One-third of all Americans have a sleep disorder at some time in their lives. There are many types of sleep-related problems. Some keep people tossing and turning, unable to sleep through most of the night. Others find themselves tired and miserable even after a full night’s sleep. Some people are not even aware that symptoms such as headaches and lack of concentration may be related to a sleep disorder.
For people with sleep problems, it means that Center for Sleep Disorders staff is highly skilled in sleep medicine. We are here to help insure quality and that our patients get results. If you have a sleep disorder, talk with your doctor to see about getting help.
