Make the Dream of a Good Night's Sleep a Reality
Approximately one-third of Americans has a sleep disorder that may make sleeping and waking hours difficult. The Sleep Disorders Center at IU Health North Hospital will be able to diagnose the causes of sleep disorders and help those suffering from sleep problems to live relatively normal lives. Services at this center are for adults only, with a separate sleep lab for children at the Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health North.
Most of the disorders can be effectively treated once they have been accurately diagnosed. Some conditions require medication, and others may require a change in daily habits and working schedule. Depending upon the nature of your sleep disorder, you may require one to two nights of evaluation, known as a sleep test.
During this evaluation, non-invasive and painless recording procedures are used to monitor your sleep patterns, heart activity, breathing patterns and muscle movements during sleep. Then the results of your study are reviewed by our sleep-certified physicians.
Did You Know?
Sleep patterns change with the aging process. Infants may sleep up to 16 hours per day, while the elderly may experience more disturbed sleep and a greater need for naps. Daytime naps may disturb sleep for some people, but for others, they are a normal part of a healthy sleep-wake pattern.
You do dream, even though you may not remember doing so. Dreams can enrich our lives by their imaginative content and psychological meaning, but they can also become nightmares and cause sleep issues.
