Sleep disorder symptoms
Many times, sleep problems present as symptoms you can identify yourself. You may need to see a sleep specialist if you:
- Awaken often during the night
- Awaken suddenly gasping for breath
- Awaken with heartburn, coughing or wheezing
- Experience leg pain during the night
- Experience vivid, dreamlike scenes upon falling asleep or awakening
- Feel sleepy during the day

Diagnosing sleep disorders
We use diagnostic studies to help us determine the best care for your condition. All our sleep studies are held in our warm, homelike sleep center, with rooms that keep your personal comfort in mind. Each room includes a desk, dresser, private bathroom and shower.
We conduct a sleep study to observe a series of sleep behaviors with video monitoring. During the study, our specialists will reach a diagnosis after monitoring the following:
- Brainwave activity
- Breathing patterns
- Heart rate
- Heart rhythm
- Muscle movement
- Oxygen levels
If you are diagnosed with a sleep disorder, we will schedule an appointment for you to see one of our specialists to discuss your test results and decide on a further treatment.
