Do You – or Does Someone You Love – Have Difficulty Falling Asleep or Staying Asleep?

If Yes, You or SomeoneYou Love, May Be One of the Over 20 Million Americans Who Suffer From Chronic Insomnia

Even more alarmingly, if left untreated you are risking more serious conditions, such as:

• Excessive daytime sleepiness
• Depression
• A weakened immune system
• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• Hypertension

But There's No Need to Continue Suffering From the Side Effects of Lack of Sleep, Because...

We can help you get the good night's sleep you deserve. And this begins with a confidential consultation and evaluation by your family doctor or one of our board-certified sleep physicians, who can accurately diagnose your condition and explore treatment options with you.

It is particularly important to share your concerns with your doctor, because many insomniacs are actually – and often unknowingly - suffering from sleep apnea, a far more serious medical condition that causes people to actually stop breathing many times while sleeping.

However, if you're like many people, you may not be certain that the symptoms you're experiencing (or observing in others) are signs of insomnia.

If so, use the following "Insomnia Symptoms Checklist" - designed by medical professionals and sleep experts - to help you determine if you, or someone you know, may be suffering from insomnia and should consult a physician.

What is Insomnia?

Insomnia is a common medical disorder where people find it difficult to fall, or stay, asleep. People of all ages are susceptible to insomnia, although it is more common among older adults and women. Insomnia can occur for short periods of time – for instance a day or two - or the condition may be chronic and last for weeks, months, and even years.

A variety of physical and psychological factors as well as lifestyle choices can cause insomnia, including:

• Persistent stress
• Lack of exercise
• Sleep apnea
• Restless Leg Syndrome, or RLS (often confused with PLM, or Periodic Limb Movement)
• Heartburn
• Alcohol
• Caffeine or other stimulants
• Depression

• Diagnostic Overnight Sleep Studies (PSGs) - These are general monitoring and evaluation studies that confirm or rule out sleep apnea.

In these situations, our sleep technologists perform CPAP titrations during the second half of the night (see explanation above).
• MSLTs (Multiple Sleep Latency Tests) - These tests - used to diagnose narcolepsy - measure our patients' levels of daytime sleepiness. MSLTs are conducted during the day following overnight sleep studies.
• MWTs (Maintenance Wakefulness Tests) - These tests are generally conducted to ensure that therapy is effective for patients - particularly commercial drivers and shiftworkers - who have been diagnosed with sleeping disorders.
