Common Sleep Disorders

You or a family member may suffer from more than one type of sleep disorder. The Sleep Disorders Center is equipped to diagnose more than 80 common disorders, including snoring, sleep apnea, insomnia, nightmares, sleep jerks and narcolepsy.

  • Snoring and Sleep Apnea: The most common cause of daytime sleepiness usually results from snoring or pauses in breathing during sleep, called apnea. We offer a variety of treatments for this condition, based on your symptoms and treatment preferences.

  • Narcolepsy: This under-diagnosed but very prevalent sleep disorder is characterized by the sudden onset of sleep while active, and by muscle weakness during strong emotion.

  • Insomnia: Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep. It takes many forms, has many causes and is treated in a variety of ways. All of these treatments are available at the Sleep Disorders Center.
