It has been determined that an estimated 85 million Americans have trouble falling asleep at night, or suffer from some type of sleep disorder. If you are one of them, the Kingwood Sleep Lab can help your Doctor determine what needs to be done to help you get the rest you need.
The Kingwood Sleep Lab offers a full range of Services designed to evaluate, diagnose, and quantify the parameters of your sleep disorder.

 

In order to diagnose your sleep disorder, patients spend the night at the Kingwood Sleep Lab, where experienced technologists monitor and record brain waves, muscle activity, respiration and heart rhythms while the patient sleeps. Results of the studies are interpreted by Physicians board certified in sleep medicine and given to your personal Physician.
The most common sleep disorders include:
  • NARCOLEPSY
    The inability to stay awake.
  • SLEEP APNEA
    Repeated interruptions in breathing
  • INSOMNIA
    Extreme difficulty maintaining or initiating sleep; caused by blockage in the airway. Snoring and severe daytime sleepiness result.

Sleep disorders can also cause:

Loss of memory; anxiety and depression; disorientation; change in mood; morning headaches; excessive daytime sleepiness; irritability; decreased ability to concentrate and complete a task, etc.

Once the sleep disorder has been diagnosed, most disorders can be managed through recommendations of your Doctor for a combination of:

  1. Weight Loss
  2. Behavioral Therapy
  3. Medication
  4. Surgery
  5. Non-invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation
