Sleep disorders affect millions of American adults each year. While some people suffer from mild sleeping problems, such as the occasional nightmare, others have severe disorders that, if left untreated, can damage their health.
The Center for Sleep Medicine at St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center provides the latest technology to assist experts in diagnosing and treating a complete range of sleep disorders, and support for conditions affecting the quality and duration of sleep. The sleep medicine specialists also work closely with the Ear, Nose & Throat and Neurology Departments to treat sleep disorders related to each area.
