Focusing on sleep disorder breathing such assleep apnea, the Sleep Centers perform polysomnographic testing, sleep studies that provide clinical staff with a detailed picture of your entire sleep cycle. The studies allow technicians to analyze your exact sleep pattern, from the onset of sleep through the 5 normal levels of sleep, to your breathing, oxygen levels, heartbeat, movement and snoring activity. Data from the study is invaluable in diagnosing and treating any sleep disorder you may have.

The morning following your sleep study, our experts will begin to analyze your results. Some patients may begin treatment as soon as the next day.

In mild cases, modifications in habits and lifestyle may effectively treat sleeping disorders. Weight Loss, smoking cessation and changes in sleep hygiene all may help your condition.

The most common treatment for moderate to severe sleep apnea is the use of CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) equipment during sleep. CPAP devices use small masks and bedside machines that regulate air flow to help keep your airway from closing during sleep. There are many different types of CPAP machines and appliances, and the Ingalls Sleep Centers staff will help you choose the best kind for you.

For those diagnosed with sleep apnea, follow-up visits and education are extremely important. You may need help getting started with incorporating CPAP into your routine, or have questions about sleep habits. The Sleep Centers staff is always willing to partner with your primary care physician and home care company in helping you adjust to your new treatment, and ensure the best possible outcome.
