Common Sleep Disorders and Associated Symptoms
Some sleep disorders may be symptoms of existing medical conditions. If left untreated, sleep disorders can lead to more serious health problems. Most sleep problems can be diagnosed and effectively managed.

Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a serious disorder in which the person stops breathing repeatedly during sleep. These interruptions can last 10 seconds to 2 minutes. Heavy snoring is one possible symptom of sleep apnea, or pauses in the breathing pattern. Other signs may include excessive daytime sleepiness or irritability. The risk of undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea includes heart attack, stroke, irregular heartbeat and high blood pressure.

Insomnia
Difficulty falling or staying asleep. Many factors may contribute to insomnia, including chronic depression, anxiety, temporary stress, noise or other health conditions or medications.
Restless Leg Syndrome
Aching or tingling sensation in the legs causing frequent movement. This serious condition can lead up to insomnia and periodic limb movement syndrome, which disrupts sleep and causes daytime drowsiness.

Narcolepsy & Other Hypersomnias
Narcolepsy is a disorder of the central nervous system that causes excessive daytime sleepiness even after a good night’s sleep. This disorder may also cause cataplexy, sleep paralysis or hallucinations before falling asleep.

Sleep Disorder Diagnosis
In order to correctly diagnosis a sleep disorder, your physician may order a sleep study. Sleep studies are done in a quiet, safe and comfortable setting at Residence Inn by Marriott, where you will stay overnight. Before you fall asleep, small sensors will be placed on the surface of the skin. While you sleep, a polysomnographic technologist located in a separate room will monitor your brain waves, muscle activity, breathing, heartbeat, oxygen levels and snoring. A physician who is board-certified in Sleep Disorders analyzes all of the data collected during your sleep.

Insurance Concerns
Most health insurance companies will cover the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders.
Community Hospital makes every possible effort to assist our patient-guests with their insurance claims; however, insurance companies vary greatly in their reimbursement policies. We suggest that you contact your insurance carrier prior to testing.
