You Deserve a Good Night's Sleep!

One out of three adults in the United States will have a sleeping problem this year. Whether they snore, sleepwalk or can't get to sleep, many individuals simply accept chronic problems with sleeping and live in a state of fatigue, reducing their quality of life. They deal with daytime sleepiness, negative health effects, and increased risk of accidents. If a sleep problem is disturbing you, your spouse, or another family member, and if it has persisted for more than a month, it may be time to get help.

Help is available. At the Paoli Hospital Center for Sleep Medicine in the Philadelphia suburbs, sleep specialists provide complete diagnosis and treatment services. The Center for Sleep Medicine provides services for all types of sleep disorders for people of all ages. And the Center is fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.

You Should Contact Us If You:

• Fall asleep while driving, during social events, meetings, movies, or at other inappropriate times.
• Have sudden daytime sleep attacks.
• Snore loudly and awaken yourself or others with snores.
• Wake up gasping for breath.
• Breathe through the mouth while sleeping and frequently have dry mouth in the morning.
• Appear to stop breathing during sleep.
• Frequently awaken with a headache.
• Take longer than 30 minutes to fall asleep.
• Sleep less than six hours.
• Wake more than four times a night.
• Walk, talk, or scream during sleep.
• Have uncontrollable movements of the legs before or during sleep.

What to Expect:

Treatment begins with a daytime consultation with a Sleep Specialist who is board certified in Sleep Medicine. After the consultation, if needed, a staff member schedules a sleep study in our comfortable, relaxing facility, during the patients normal sleeping time.

During the sleep study sessions, technologists use non-invasive, state-of-the-art equipment to monitor a patient's heart, respiratory system, muscle activity, brain activity, oxygen level, body position, and sleep movements. Later, patients return to hear treatment recommendations.

The Staff:

Physicians associated with the Sleep Medicine Center have broad experience in sleep medicine, including national recognition in the field, and authorship of books and articles on the subject. All are faculty members at Philadelphia area medical schools, and most are certified by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
