CHI Memorial Sleep Specialists - Parkway
CHI Memorial Sleep Specialists provide treatment for patients with sleep apnea and sleep disorders like insomnia, narcolepsy (uncontrollable drowsiness and sleeping) and restless leg syndrome. Sleep disorders may be treated with medications, weight loss and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. Surgery may be recommended. Sleep studies and most treatments are covered by Medicare and most commercial insurance plans.
Forty percent of adults sleep less than 7 hours each weeknight, and 74 percent of adults experience sleeping problems a few nights a week. Without enough quality sleep, people are more likely to experience moodiness, confusion, difficulty concentrating and memory problems. If feeling worn out even after a full night’s sleep is starting to get you down, it might be time to seek help from the sleep experts.

Sleep disorders
Chronic sleep disruption has been linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, depression, stroke, diabetes, obesity, accidents and debilitating daytime sleepiness. A sleep disorder is a disruptive pattern of sleep that prevents restful, regenerative sleep. CHI Memorial evaluates and treats all sleep disturbances, including the following symptoms and conditions:
- Snoring
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Sleep apnea
- Insomnia
- Unusual movement during sleep
Sleep apnea
Sleep apnea is a serious, life-altering, and potentially life-threatening condition that is easily identified and effectively treated. Sleep apnea affects one in every 15 Americans. What’s more,10 million people don’t know they have the condition, and it can affect people of all ages and body-types. Common signs of sleep apnea include excessive daytime sleepiness, extremely loud snoring, episodes of breathing cessation, insomnia and abrupt awakenings. Men are three times more likely to be affected by sleep apnea than women. More than just interfering with your productivity (and how good you feel during the day), sleep apnea also poses other potential risks – like stroke, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and diabetes.
Sleep study
