Advanced Technology To Diagnose and Treat Sleep Disorders
Always Tired or Sleepy? You Are Not Alone!
If you are among the 30 million people who suffer from poor sleep, Inova Alexandria Hospital's Sleep Disorders Center may be your solution.
Sleep disorders have a far greater impact than just making you feel tired during the day. You may experience impaired concentration, loss of memory and coping skills, resentment from loved ones who are kept awake by your snoring and other sleep-related problems. If you have a sleep disorder, you may frequently fall asleep while driving, risking death and injury to yourself and others. Sleep disorders are known to increase the risk of many physical, emotional and social difficulties.
What Is the Sleep Disorders Center?
The Sleep Disorders Center at Inova Alexandria Hospital, started in May 1990, was the first of its kind in Northern Virginia. It offers several different tests in a quiet, home-like environment. Each sleep room has video monitoring and computerized diagnostic capabilities, so study results are available within days. By taking a safe, preventive approach to sleep disorders, you can improve your health.
A physician who is a board-certified sleep specialist directs the Sleep Disorders Center. The center is fully staffed with highly trained sleep physicians and technologists. The center also hosts support groups for patients who are diagnosed with sleep-disordered breathing.
