Sleep Medicine

Sleep medicine is a specialized medical field dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of sleep disorders and disturbances. Sleep specialists, including sleep medicine physicians and board-certified sleep psychologists, evaluate patients experiencing issues such as insomnia, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, and parasomnias. These professionals employ various diagnostic tools, including sleep studies (polysomnography), actigraphy, and questionnaires, to assess patients’ sleep patterns, identify underlying causes of sleep disorders, and develop personalized treatment plans.
Treatment options in sleep medicine are diverse and may include lifestyle modifications, behavioral therapy, medication management, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy for sleep apnea, dental devices, and surgical interventions in some cases. Sleep specialists also provide education and guidance on sleep hygiene practices, such as maintaining a regular sleep schedule, creating a comfortable sleep environment, and avoiding stimulants before bedtime. By addressing sleep-related issues comprehensively and holistically, sleep medicine professionals aim to improve patients’ overall sleep quality, daytime functioning, and overall health and well-being.
