Conditions We Treat

If your circadian rhythm is out of sync with your environment, it might impact your daily life and cause daytime tiredness, anxiety, insomnia, and problems with memory.

Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that can make it hard to fall asleep and stay asleep at night. People with insomnia usually experience symptoms such as fatigue, low energy, difficulty concentrating, and changes in mood.

Narcolepsy is characterized as overwhelming drowsiness and an extreme tendency to fall asleep at any time.  People with narcolepsy usually feel very sleepy during the day, and may even fall asleep during normal activities. Although there is no cure, medication and behavioral treatments can typically improve symptoms.

Restless Leg Syndrome is defined as an irresistible urge to move the legs during sleep, often accompanied by unusual or unpleasant sensations that may be described as creeping, tugging or pulling.

An individual with sleep apnea experiences breathing that stops and starts during the sleep cycle. The two main types of sleep apnea are central sleep apnea, when the brain isn’t sending the right signals to the muscles that control breathing, and obstructive sleep apnea, when the throat muscles relax. 

Sleep disorders include any disruption in the normal sleep pattern, including abnormal breathing and movement, falling and staying asleep, and other sleep issues. A sleep disorder can negatively affect health and quality of life, can affect any age group, and is usually treatable.

Sleep terrors, which are also called night terrors, are when you have a period of screaming, crying, or intense fear while you are still sleeping. You may also sometimes wave your arms and legs or sleepwalk.

Sleepwalking originates during sleep and results in people walking or performing other complex behaviors, often with little or no memory after it happens.

Snoring is a common problem among all ages and genders, characterized as noisy breathing during sleep. People are generally unaware of their snoring, and must rely on the observations of their bed-partners. Although snoring alone is not serious, it is a symptom of sleep apnea, which is a serious condition that requires medical attention.
