If you find that you consistently struggle to fall asleep, stay asleep, or that you wake up feeling exhausted after a night’s sleep, there may be issues affecting you while you sleep. These are known as sleep disorders and can have a severe effect on your life. If you aren’t getting the quality sleep that you need, it can be difficult to function throughout the day and you might find yourself struggling to stay awake during meetings or even while driving. It’s important to diagnose your sleep disorder by having our doctor conduct a sleep study. Dr. Jeremy McConnell at Florida Sleep Specialists in Bradenton and Sarasota, FL, can explain what can be diagnosed through a sleep study.
Diagnosing Sleep Disorders
When you’re struggling with sleep, it’s important that you’re able to get the care that you need. The only way to get this care is by making sure that your doctor understands what sleep disorder you may be dealing with. In order to diagnose your issues, our doctor in Bradenton and Sarasota, FL, will need to perform a sleep study to find out what your symptoms and issues are.
During a sleep study, your brain waves, blood oxygen levels, heart rate, and breathing will be monitored. Our doctor will also measure any eye and leg movements that happen. There are many common issues that your sleep specialist will monitor you for. These common sleep disorders include:
- Sleep apnea
- Periodic limb movement disorder
- Narcolepsy
- Insomnia
- REM sleep behavior disorder
Once our sleep specialist understands what issues are plaguing you, they’ll be able to start your treatment and get you on the way to healthy sleep in no time.
