More than 40 million people in the United States have a chronic sleep disorder. Sleep studies help diagnose those underlying conditions.
Sleep apnea is a condition that causes people to periodically stop breathing while they’re asleep. It is associated with many medical problems.
Parasomnias is a sleep condition that causes a person to seem alert and engage in activities without awareness because the brain is only partially awake.

Restless legs syndrome is an uncomfortable urge to move the legs that can be severe enough to affect quality of life. Fortunately the condition is treatable.
Snoring may seem like a minor annoyance, but it can be a sign of something more serious.
If your child struggles with sleep, snores, is hyperactive or extremely drowsy during the day, he or she might need an overnight sleep study.
If your tonsils are enlarged or chronically infected, this can affect breathing and/or swallowing and may require removal (tonsillectomy).
Tonsillitis is an infection of the tonsils that causes them to swell, making it hard to swallow and leaving the lymph nodes in the neck sore.
