All I need is a good nights sleep. Youve heard the phrase before,
and for many of us, getting to sleep is an easy task, most of the time. Yet, for some 50 million
Americans, falling into and staying asleep is so difficult that the quality of life and health is
severely disturbed. While the importance of sleeping well has always been accepted, it has only been during the past decade that medical advances have enabled physicians to better understand sleep activity, and to diagnose and treat a broad spectrum of sleep-related disorders. In Central New York, thousands of people are estimated to suffer from a sleep/wake disorder. Through the services of The Sleep Center at Community General Hospital, specialists in the area of sleep/wake disorders are helping people get the sleep they need. What is the Sleep Center? The sleep Center at Community General Hospital is a special unit dedicated to the diagnosis of patients who suffer from problems associated with sleeping and daytime alertness. Staffed by a registered polysomnographic technologist and technicians, the unit incorporates several medical specialties (including pulmonary medicine, neurology, psychiatry, cardiology and urology) for the accurate diagnosis and the treatment of sleep disorders. |
