Take a Sleep Test

Are you tired?

 

One out of three Americans has a sleep disorder that makes life miserable, whether that person is asleep or awake.  Many of these people suffer needlessly because they are unaware that a problem exists.  If you are experiencing a persistent sleeping problem that impairs your ability to function either at work or socially, or if your physician suspects that a sleep disorder is contributing to, or causing a medical problem, or problems, the sleep disorder center can help.

 

Once detected, most sleep disorders can be corrected.
