Sleep lab provides sleep studies to diagnose and treat the following conditions:

• Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): caused by an obstruction of the upper airway characterized by repetitive pauses in breathing despite the effort to breathe
• Central Sleep Apnea: similar to OSA but the brain stops sending signals to the muscles that control breathing * may be associated with other medical conditions such as obesity, heart failure or Parkinson's Disease
• Insomnia: sleeplessness or difficulty falling or staying asleep
• Hypersomnia: excessive daytime sleepiness and/or prolonged night time sleep * always 'hungry' for (more) sleep
• Narcolepsy: excessive daytime sleepiness characterized by the brain's inability to regulate the sleep-wake cycle normally * frequent dream recall, may experience sudden muscle weakness often triggered by a strong emotion such as laughing or being frightened
• Parasomnias: various abnormal behaviors during sleep such as Restless Leg Syndrome, REM-Behaviour Disorder, Night Terrors, Bruxism (teeth grinding)
