Complete solutions for the
full spectrum of sleep problems
While many sleep clinics automatically assess patients for only the most common sleep problems, at REM Sleep Diagnostics, every patient benefits from a comprehensive, personalized evaluation. The conditions we commonly assess for and treat include:
- Chronic snoring — This extremely common problem can disrupt the sleep of family members and cause great tension and embarrassment. Snoring may also be a symptom of sleep apnea.
- Sleep Apnea — This serious sleep disorder occurs when breathing is interrupted due to muscle collapse in the back of the throat. People with sleep apnea can sometimes stop breathing hundreds of times during the night. Untreated sleep apnea causes abnormal daytime sleepiness, and can also lead to high blood pressure, stroke, heart failure, an irregular heartbeat and heart attacks.
- Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS) — This precursor to sleep apnea occurs when abnormal muscle relaxation in the throat makes it harder to breathe, resulting in fragmented sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness.
- Narcolepsy — This neurological disorder affects the control of sleep and wakefulness, causing excessive daytime sleepiness and uncontrollable episodes of falling asleep during normal waking hours.
- Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) — This disorder causes tingling, pulling or other painful sensations in the legs at night that make it extremely difficult to fall asleep.
- Insomnia – 30% of adults have symptoms of insomnia experienced by difficulty falling or staying asleep and/or waking early without good rest. Symptoms include feeling tired or grumpy, trouble concentrating and falling asleep during the day.
