- Sleep apnea (interrupted breathing during sleep that can happen hundreds of times per night)
- Periodic limb movement syndrome
- Parasomnia (sleep walking and talking)
- Insomnia
- Narcolepsy (involuntary chronic excessive daytime sleepiness)

During the overnight evaluation, your heart rate, respiration, leg and eye movements, brain waves, and oxygen circulation will be monitored.

The team then tailors a treatment plan to your specific needs.
