WELCOME
TO THE
EASTLAKE SLEEP CENTER
FOR
THE DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF SLEEP DISORDERS
SLEEP DISORDERS
are disorders specifically
related to sleep patterns, and can result in serious
medical conditions if not treated properly. Sleep disorders
such as Sleep
Apnea,
Periodic Limb
Movement Disorder (PLMD) and even persistent snoring
can lead to
depression,
heart
disease,
hypertension
and chronic fatigue
syndrome. According
to the Institute of Medicine, over 50 million Americans
suffer from chronic sleep disorders.
Among the most common of these is Obstructive Sleep Apnea
(OSA), which affects an
estimated 12 million Americans. Sleep Apnea is a condition
that occurs when breathing is arrested during sleep, thus
interrupting the normal sleep cycle. With obstructive sleep
apnea, some part of the sleeper's respiratory tract loses
muscle tone and partially collapses.This disorder can
become life threatening as it involves the frequent
collapsing of the air passageway during sleep, resulting in
a partial or complete blockage of the airway. People with
OSA are often unaware of the problem, but complain of
excessive sleepiness during the day.
SYMPTOMS
OF A SLEEP DISORDER:
•Loud, persistent snoring.
•Feeling excessively tired and lacking in energy during the
day.
•Difficulty paying attention or concentrating.
•Frequently feeling listless and unmotivated.
•Becoming increasingly irritable and prone to losing your
temper.
•Difficulty waking up on time in the mornings.
•You often become drowsy while watching television, reading
or driving.
•Others frequently comment that you look tired.
•Feeling the need to take a nap almost every day.
•Requiring caffeinated drinks to stay alert and
productive.
EASTLAKE SLEEP
CENTER is dedicated to
providing medical solutions for patients suffering from
sleep disorders. The first step in diagnosing a potential
sleep disorder is to conduct a Sleep
Study. A sleep study is
used to identify and measure the different stages of sleep,
as well as to record and classify any physiological
activities causing problems during the sleep cycle. After
the study, a Sleep Specialist
will analyze the results from
your diagnostic and design an individual treatment program
for your needs.Thank you for choosing the
