Sleep disorders can disrupt the amount and quality of sleep a person receives. They can be caused by any number of things, including stress at home or work, or a sudden change in the amount of sleep a person gets, a change in daily schedule or other physical factors.

The Baptist Hospital East Sleep Disorders Center is designed to help people discover the cause of their sleeplessness, and determine the most effective treatment options available to them.

Treatment includes:

• A consultation appointment to gather information about sleep and medical history;
• A sleep study may be done to monitor sleep stages, breathing patterns, heart activity, blood oxygen levels and body movements. Sleep studies are scheduled during your normal sleeping period.

The specialists at the Sleep Disorders Center will evaluate test results and treatment recommendations will be discussed with you and your primary care physician for long-term care.

The Sleep Disorders Center is fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and features eight private sleeping suites. Each suite has a full-size bed, cable television, shower and restroom facilities - all of the conveniences of being at home, in a quiet, restful environment.
