Patients suffering from sleep disorders such as snoring, sleep apnea, insomnia, narcolepsy, and restless legs might benefit from a sleep study. The sleep lab (across the street from Carson Valley Health Medical Center) offers sleep studies performed in a comfortable, private room. The room is specially-equipped for monitoring your breathing, brain waves, heart activity, sleep patterns, and eye and muscle movements during the night. The healthcare team at the sleep lab, operated by Sleep Medicine Associates, can analyze the information obtained during your sleep study and will recommend treatments that might include restricting the use of certain drugs such as alcohol, caffeine and sleeping pills; special equipment for improving sleep; a weight loss program; or surgical intervention.
Talk to your primary care about the benefits of a sleep study. For more information, call Sleep Medicine Associates at 775.783.4836.
