U.P. Sleep Disorders Center
In our fast paced world with its 24 / 7 work week, it has become part of our work ethic to put sleep at the bottom of our To Do lists. But a good quality, restorative sleep is important for overall health. Undiagnosed and untreated sleep disorders rob people of both the quality and quantity of sleep they need to remain healthy and can lead to complex health problems in the future.
Everyone has a restless night now and then. But if those “restless nights” seem to be more regular than infrequent, it is important that people see a sleep professional for help.
Sleep disorder symptoms include:
- snoring – especially with snorts and gasps
- excessive restlessness during sleep
- persistent irritability
- fatigue upon awaking
- headache upon awaking
- moodiness & forgetfulness
- heartburn and reflux
- nighttime urination
- excessive daytime sleepiness
- falling asleep at inappropriate times
- school or behavioral problems in children
Responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of adult and pediatric sleep disorders, Dickinson County Healthcare System’s U.P. Sleep Disorders Center provides a comprehensive service not readily experienced in other sleep labs. A physician Board Certified in Sleep Medicine, who serves as Medical Director of the Center, provides a thorough evaluation. The Center employs a staff of nationally registered sleep technicians and has been awarded national accreditation. Services provided include complete diagnostics using a variety of sleep studies, on-site interpretation of sleep studies, and a variety of treatment options. Special expertise in pediatric sleep disorders is a hallmark of the U.P Sleep Disorders Center.
Additionally, the U.P. Sleep Disorders Center works directly with Dickinson Home Medical Equipment Services to guarantee the availability of the necessary equipment needed by the patients for treatment. Consequently, a seamless transition from diagnostic test to home treatment is achieved.
