Sleep disorders treated
A person is often unaware that he or she has a sleep disorder. As a result, sleep disturbances may go undiagnosed and untreated for many years, and they may never get a good night's sleep.
Sometimes, the patient complains of daytime fatigue, sleep anxiety or overwhelming sleepiness. Frequently, a bed partner, rather than the patient, is the best source of information about bad sleep patterns.
Some common sleep disorders include the following:
- Insomnia
- Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)
- Central sleep apnea
- Periodic limb movements
- Restless leg syndrome
- Narcolepsy
- Snoring
- Parasomnias
- Pediatric sleep disorders
Sleep disorder treatment options
To diagnose and treat sleep disorders, experts at Baylor Scott & White may use a variety of sleep studies and treatment methods, including:
- Home sleep study
- Actigraph to monitor sleep and wake patterns

- CPAP titration study (continuous airway pressure therapy)
- Nocturnal seizure monitoring
- Ventilatory support study
