Finding restful sleep: Providence St. Jude Sleep Lab
Nearly 70 million Americans suffer from sleep disorders, impacting their daily lives and overall health. At the Providence St. Jude Sleep Lab, we specialize in diagnosing these conditions, offering hope and solutions.
Sleep disorders are more than just occasional sleepless nights. They encompass a wide range of issues that can significantly disrupt your life. For some, the struggle lies in falling or staying asleep, leading to restless nights and groggy mornings. Severe conditions like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep, can have serious health implications, and even snoring, often seen as harmless, may be a warning sign of untreated OSA. Others wrestle with restless leg syndrome, which triggers an uncontrollable urge to move their legs, often accompanied by discomfort.
Breathing problems during sleep can cause frequent awakenings, preventing deep, restorative sleep. As a result, chronic fatigue becomes a constant companion, impacting daily life. Daytime sleepiness affects alertness and performance at work and poses serious risks while driving. Difficulty concentrating and impaired memory can hinder task completion and retention of important information. Mood changes, irritability and morning headaches can strain relationships and diminish quality of life.
The consequences of untreated sleep disorders are far-reaching. Chronic sleep deprivation can lead to serious health risks, including heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, liver issues, depression, stroke, weight gain and even death.
At the Providence St. Jude Sleep Lab, our expert team is dedicated to helping you achieve better sleep and improved health. We offer simple, convenient at-home sleep tests that allow us to thoroughly evaluate and identify the root cause of your sleep troubles, guiding you towards restful and restorative sleep.
