What is sleep medicine?

  • Insomnia
  • Narcolepsy

  • Restless leg syndrome (RLS)
  • Sleep talking and walking

The team focuses on relieving your symptoms so that you get good-quality sleep each night. They can also prevent chronic health problems like heart disease, obesity, and immune system dysfunction resulting from ongoing sleep deprivation.

When should I schedule a sleep medicine consultation?

You should schedule a sleep medicine consultation at Advanced Medical Care if you have problems that affect your quality or quantity of sleep, including:

  • Snoring
  • Teeth grinding (bruxism)
  • Sleepwalking or -talking
  • Intense urge to nap during the day
  • Difficulties falling and/or staying asleep
  • Falling asleep when driving

You should also schedule a sleep medicine consultation if you often awaken with a headache, sore throat, or nasal congestion.

The team provides advanced diagnostic testing, including nocturnal polysomnography (NPSG) and the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT), to better understand the cause of your symptoms. Based on your test results, they create a treatment plan to relieve daytime sleepiness and other symptoms of a sleep disorder.

What treatment options are available?

The Advanced Medical Care team offers various services to improve your sleep quality. They might initially recommend strategies that support better sleep habits, like going to bed and waking up at the same time each day. You should also turn off all electronics at least an hour before bed so that you fall asleep faster.

If you have obstructive sleep apnea, you might benefit from a dental appliance that keeps your jaw in a forward position to improve your breathing. The team also recommends CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machines that provide supplemental oxygen through a face mask you wear while asleep.

Other treatments for sleep disorders include:

  • Mouth guards
  • Medication
  • Supplements
