About Sleep Studies and Apnea Testing
Sleep Study and Sleep Apnea testing are conducted at Gretna Medical Center on a regular basis. If you have trouble sleeping, we can help. Dealing with sleep apnea can have many negative repercussions on your health and your lifestyle. The snoring caused by sleep apnea can keep your partner awake at night, and the difficulty breathing can cause you to wake up constantly during the night. This results in poor quality of sleep, which can affect your work and even your social life. Thankfully, treatment is available for sleep apnea, and it involves a sleep study. The sleep study and treatment process has seven main steps.
Sleep is important to your body and mind in many ways. When you sleep, your body works to repair its organs and other systems. Your brain also forms new pathways while you sleep, which helps you remember information more easily. It is also safer to drive and operate heavy machinery when you’ve had a good night’s sleep. For these reasons and more, sleep apnea and other sleep disorders can wreak havoc on all areas of your life, not just your nighttime routine. That is why sleep studies and sleep apnea treatments are so beneficial.
