Sleep Disorder Clinic

A sleep disorder clinic specializes in diagnosing and treating various sleep-related issues. These include:

• insomnia,
• sleep apnea, and
• restless leg syndrome.

Sleep disorder clinics are essential for patients who suffer from poor sleep quality or chronic fatigue. Untreated sleep disorders can severely impact overall health, cognitive function, and mood.

Patients should consider visiting a sleep disorder clinic if they experience:

• frequent trouble sleeping,
• loud snoring, or
• unexplained daytime drowsiness.

Sleep specialists, often pulmonologists or neurologists with a focus on sleep medicine, conduct assessments.

The process usually begins with an initial consultation. Followed by diagnostic tests like polysomnography (overnight sleep study) or home-based sleep apnea testing.

These tests monitor vital signs, breathing patterns, and brain activity to diagnose the root of sleep issues.

Proper diagnosis allows for personalized treatment plans, which may include CPAP therapy, medication, or lifestyle changes.
