Sleep Disorders
Millions of people suffer from sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, insomnia and sleepwalking. Most sleep disorders can be treated. Proper treatment can only be decided after a patient’s condition has been fully and accurately evaluated. The Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic Sleep Disorders team is led by board certified sleep specialists specializing in all phases of sleep disorders and disturbances, with backgrounds in pulmonology and neurology.

Often unrecognized, sleep disorders take a national toll. With more than 80 identifiable sleep and wake disorders, it is estimated that three out of five adults will experience sleep difficulty at some time in their lives. Some of the most common problems include sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, narcolepsy (uncontrollable sleep attacks at inappropriate times) and insomnia (difficulty in falling asleep and in staying asleep). An overnight sleep study or polysomnogram at a qualified sleep center, such as the ones offered at Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic hospitals, is the most effective way to diagnose such disorders.
