<a name="ObstructiveSleepApnea"></a><strong>Obstructive Sleep Apnea</strong>

Obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA, is a sleep related breathing disorder that causes your body to stop breathing during sleep. OSA occurs when the tissue in the back of the throat collapses and blocks the airway. This keeps air from getting in to the lungs. This is a very common sleep disorder. It happens because the muscles inside the throat relax as you sleep. Gravity then causes the tongue to fall back and block the airway. Blockage of the airway can happen a few times a night or several hundred times per night.  With overnight monitoring in the Comprehensive Sleep Disorders Institute, the nature and severity of sleep apnea can be ascertained and an effective treatment plan devised.

Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep or to stay asleep. Poor sleep during the night can be a serious problem in itself and can result in decreased wakefulness, concentration, and performance during the day. There are many causes of insomnia, most of which can be treated. Unfortunately, many people do not realize that medical help is available for insomnia, and continue to suffer the effects of poor or diminished sleep.

<a name="NocturnalEpilepsy"></a><strong>Nocturnal Epilepsy</strong>

Epilepsy has a complex association with sleep. Certain seizures are more common during sleep, and may show prominent diurnal variation. With use of advanced techniques, such as long-term video-EEG or video-polysomnography, the specialists at the Comprehensive Sleep Disorders Institute are able to make accurate diagnosis and define optimal methods of treatment for this disorder.

<a name="Jet-lag"></a><strong>Jet-lag</strong>

Jet lag occurs when the body's biological clock is out of sync with local time. When traveling to a new time zone, our bodies are slow to adjust and remain on their original biological schedule for several days. The result is that we feel excessively sleepy during the day or wide awake at night. The condition may be worsening by other sleep disorder. An overnight sleep study, such as polysomnogram, might help to determine if there are other sleep problems, and find an effective treatment.

<a name="AbnormalNighttimeBehaviors"></a><strong>Abnormal Nighttime Behaviors</strong>

They include such problems as screaming out, sleepwalking, abnormal body movements, tongue biting, night sweats, headaches, choking, shortness of breath, chest pains, abnormal heart rhythms, bedwetting, and sleep paralysis.  The performance of abnormal nighttime  behaviors in sleep are important symptoms which are too often ignored. Sleepwalking presents a danger of accidental injury and, furthermore, can be a sign of medical illness or psychological stress. Although these behaviors were formerly resistant to treatment, highly effective therapies have been developed and are now available to the sleep specialist.

<a name="RestlessLegSyndrome"></a><strong>Restless Leg Syndrome</strong>

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by unpleasant sensations in the legs and an uncontrollable urge to move when at rest in an effort to relieve these feelings. RLS sensations are often described by people as burning, creeping, tugging, or like insects crawling inside the legs. Often called paresthesias (abnormal sensations) or dysesthesias (unpleasant abnormal sensations), the sensations range in severity from uncomfortable to irritating to painful. Most people with RLS have sleep disturbances, largely because of the limb discomfort and jerking. The result is excessive daytime sleepiness and fatigue. Sleep studies, such as polysomnography, help identify the presence of RLS.
