Sleep Studies

Feeling tired? You’re not alone. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 20 percent of American adults suffer from daytime sleepiness. More than just a nuisance, sleep disorders can greatly affect quality of life, mental and physical abilities, and increase the risk of health conditions, including heart attack, diabetes, and stroke.

Our sleep specialists are trained to identify and diagnose sleep-related disorders and can help you create a plan for better sleep. If you are experiencing a sleep problem, speak with your SSM Health provider today about how to get started.

Our sleep team specializes in sleep-related breathing disorders. In addition, we have the necessary expertise and specialized equipment to evaluate and treat patients with more rare or complex neurological sleep disorders. Our team may determine that you are a candidate for a sleep study, an overnight test that provides valuable information about how you sleep.
