More than 25% of Americans suffer from excessive sleep disorders including loud snoring, insomnia, and sleep apnea (failure to breath during sleep). The Pomerene Sleep Center specializes in diagnosing sleep-related disorders. Sleep problems that remain untreated can often lead to other health conditions such as heart disease and high blood pressure.
A Polysomnogram is a sleep study that provides an overnight recording of patterns and behaviors associated with sleep. It is performed in order to determine what stages of sleep an individual achieves and whether any sleep-related abnormalities are present.
