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
