A good night’s sleep doesn’t have to be a dream. Although millions of Americans suffer from sleep disorders, many don’t know it – or they don’t take them seriously enough to seek treatment. Waking up during the night, the inability to fall asleep night after night, falling asleep at work or during classes, waking up unrefreshed after 7-8 hours of sleep, loud and heavy snoring, kicking your partner during the night, and general moodiness, depression or irritability can all be signs of a sleep disorder. If you are experiencing any of these warning signs, you should talk to your family physician. Be sure to ask him or her about the Sleep Disorders Center of Northern New York.

Following the initial visit and evaluation, a polysomnogram (sleep test) may be recommended. The test is typically performed overnight, and helps to pinpoint the cause of sleep problems and plan treatment.
