Sleep Medicine at The Christ Hospital
If you have trouble falling or staying asleep, you’re not alone. The National Institutes of Health estimate about 30 percent of the population experiences interruptions to their sleep at some point in their lives.
In many cases, the outcome is nothing more serious than wanting a nap the next day or a slightly earlier bedtime. When those disruptions become the norm, however, it can affect you physically, mentally and emotionally.
The sleep medicine experts in The Christ Hospital Health Network understand the impact a sleep disorder has on every aspect of your life. We offer comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis, including a sleep study if your situation indicates one is needed.
Our advanced treatment options include techniques that range from education and behavior modification to surgery depending on your individual needs.
Whether you have a serious sleep disorder like sleep apnea or just need to follow a healthy bedtime routine, the sleep medicine specialists at The Christ Hospital Health Network could be your first step towards regular restorative rest.
