It is estimated that two out of every five Americans suffer from serious sleep disorders which can result in the inability to fall asleep, stay asleep, or cause excessive daytime sleepiness. Since restful sleep is so important to health, it is critical that people affected by sleep disorders receive professional medical attention. The Florida Hospital Center for Sleep Disorders provides a relaxing, therapeutic environment staffed by board certified specialists and neurologists to help patients achieve more normal, restful sleep patterns.

Sleep Disorders usually require individual attention to incorporate lifestyle changes necessary to achieve normal sleep patterns. It is our goal to work with you to achieve a healthy balance of activity, nutrition, spiritual health, and rest.

Common sleep disorders treated include apnea, insomnia, narcolepsy, parasomnia, nocturnal myoclonus ("restless legs") and other disorders such as seizures, bruxism (grinding of the teeth) or others that cause improper sleep.

Apnea

Apnea is a period of not breathing. Frequency may be as often as several hundred times during overnight sleep. Causes of apnea include blockage of the upper airway and diseases of the central nervous system. Apnea victims may experience excessive daytime sleepiness, high blood pressure, rapid weight gain, morning headaches, personality changes, impotence, signs of heart failure and heavy snoring. Sleep attacks may also occur during the day, similar to those

Causes of insomnia include stress, breathing disorders, depression, anxiety, pain and misuse or overuse of sleeping pills. Daytime symptoms often include headaches, hypertension and concentration/memory difficulties.

Narcolepsy

Narcolepsy is classified as sudden and uncontrollable attacks of excessive sleepiness during the day. This disorder causes a person to sleep at inappropriate times such as while driving, eating or in meetings. Common complaints include frequent, vivid nightmares or hallucinations upon falling asleep, sudden muscular weakness when angry, surprised or amused, and momentary paralysis upon awakening.
