Sleep disorders can lead to trouble falling and staying asleep, or difficulties staying awake. These types of conditions interfere with your regular sleep/wake cycle and may cause nightmares, sleepwalking, bedwetting and other disorders. In fact, some sleep disorders can be life-threatening, especially in patients with heart and/or lung disease.

Today, there are highly successful treatments for most sleep disorders, but the cause of the problem must first be identified. Park Ridge Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine offers some of the most advanced sleep study technology available in our area, including EEG monitoring. Our team of board-certified physicians and Registered Polysomnographic Technicians are here to ensure your sleep disorder is diagnosed and treated quickly, so you can get back to a better nights rest.

You can schedule an appointment with us directly without requiring a physician referral. To find out more, please call us at 828.654.6000.
