Sleep disorders treated

A person is often unaware that he or she has sleep problems. 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 problems 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
  • Nocturnal polysomnography
  • CPAP titration study (continuous airway pressure therapy)
  • Nocturnal seizure monitoring
  • Ventilatory support study
  • Maintenance of wakefulness test (MWT)
  • Multiple sleep latency testing (MSLT)
  • Pediatric sleep study
  • Seizure sleep study
  • Split night sleep study
