The SOCH Center for
Sleep Medicine Services
The Center offers State-of-the-art
comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and treatments for a wide variety
of sleep disorders in a comfortable atmosphere that looks and feels
more like home than a hospital. A Polysomnogram, or sleep study is
a non-invasive test which records sleep patterns, breathing, oxygen
level, heart rate and rhythm, and muscle tone while a patient sleeps
overnight. Symptoms of sleep disorder include:
- Snoring usually loud
- Gaps or irregularities in breathing during sleep (usually noted
by bed partner)
- Unrefreshed sleep
- Daytime sleepiness and napping
- Restless sleep
- Difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep
- Painful or crawling sensations in legs while sitting quietly
or lying in bed
- Jerking of limbs, particularly legs, during sleep
- Weak spells associated with anger or laughter
- Vivid, frightening or violent dreams
