People spend roughly one-third of their
lives asleep, so quality of sleep directly affects quality of life.
Studies show that one out of three Americans has a sleep disorder
that contributes to potentially life-threatening mistakes and
accidents on or off the job. The good news is that once detected,
most sleep disorders can be corrected.
If you have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or remaining
awake, the Sleep Lab can help.
The types of problems treated through this program
include:
- Sleep Apnea
- Snoring
- Oxygenation Problems
- Insomnia
As the technology, research, and field of Sleep Medicine grows -
so have we. We continue to provide state of the art, cutting
edge equipment through which we can collect information while the
patient sleeps quietly and comfortably and at the same time, allow
the physician immediate access to information. We continually
update the education of our staff of certified respiratory
therapists, Registered Polysomnographic Technologists, and Board
eligible Polysomnographic Technicians.
Our lab has 8 beds that accommodate patients 5 nights a
week. These private rooms have a quiet and
comfortable home like atmosphere for patients to spend the
night. Each room has amenities that make a patient's stay as
pleasant as possible, such as:
- Premium mattresses designed for different body types and styles
of sleep.
- Private bathrooms and showers.
- Recliners for patients who can't sleep laying down.
- Flat panel televisions.
- Mission style wood furniture
Our rooms have queen size beds, beds for smaller frames and
children, and special mattresses designed for support and comfort.
The private bathrooms all have a roomy fully mirrored vanity area
and an area for hair dryers, etc., for our patients who leave for
work from the facility. There is also an area for patient
caregivers to spend the night (when necessary). A light snack
and/or coffee in the morning is available at the patient's
request.
Working closely with Lourdes Health Support enables patients
to quickly acquire any item needed or prescribed by the
physician. This provides patients with continuity of care
within the Lourdes system (for those who choose it). Even
after patients have gone home and had their prescriptions filled,
the Sleep Disorders Lab helps patients fine tune any and all
compliance issues related to any therapy prescribed by the
physician.
