Do you wake up tired? This is a common symptom of sleep apnea, the most common sleep disorder in the country. Left untreated, sleep apnea and other sleep disorders pose serious health risks.

A Nationally Accredited Program

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine accredits the South County Hospital Sleep Disorders Lab (AASM), the gold standard by which the medical community and the public evaluate sleep medicine services.

The AASM's Standards for Accreditation ensure that sleep medicine providers follow prescribed testing procedures and policies, patient safety and follow-up, and physician and staff training.

Comfort, Convenience, Privacy

Your overnight study takes place in one of the comfortable, private, hotel-like rooms of the Sleep Disorders Lab. All rooms include a private bathroom, a flat-screen television, and are located in a quiet, serene setting.

Health Risks of Sleep Apnea

If you snore or wake up tired after a full night's sleep, tell your primary care physician you want a referral to the Sleep Disorders Lab. Or, call the Sleep Lab yourself at (401) 788-1667 and our staff will help you make the arrangements.

Sleep Apnea pauses in breathing while you sleep, affects 12 million Americans and, if left untreated, can cause serious health risks, such as cardiovascular disease, memory problems, weight gain, impotence, and headaches.

And, as sleep apnea sufferers are always tired, the condition can affect job performance and place you at risk for auto accidents.
