Welcome to University Neurology and Sleep Medicine
Sleep Clinic & Lab.!
Though sleep medicine movement has become a vital part of the nation’s medical and societal agenda, sleep disorders tend to go undiagnosed in Adults and they are seldom entertained or addressed in pediatric clinics. Sleep-disordered breathing is recognized as a serious health problem that impacts about 43 million adults; however, more than 80% remain undiagnosed and untreated.
Do you know that sleep disorders have been found to play a role in depression, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, stroke and heart disease? Studies show all of these conditions are strongly linked to obstructive sleep apnea: 80% of drug-resistant hypertensive patients, 50% of male diabetics, 77% of morbid obese patients,50% of congestive heart failure patients and 35% of hypertension patients.
Approximately 20 percent of children suffer from some form of sleeping problem. Quality sleep is vital for a child's health, development and learning. Children with inadequate sleep will show the following behaviors: hyperactivity, irritability, difficulty focusing in school, tiredness and difficulty controlling impulses and emotions.
Chronic sleep deprivation in children may be erroneously attributed to hyperactivity or attention disorder.
Your patients deserve the best, most specialized care by only the most skilled and trained pediatric and adult sleep medicine professionals.
