THE CENTER for ADVANCED SLEEP MEDICINE

(219) 736-4074 The Rehab Centers

Since 1987, the Center for Sleep Disorders has provided the services of a clinical psychologist and physician with special training in sleep disorders medicine. Following consultation, patients may spend one or more nights in one of three comfortable bedrooms for further diagnostic evaluation or treatment. For some types of conditions, treatment may begin immediately following the initial evaluation.

Impotency studies are performed in collaboration with physician specialists in urology.

Sleep studies are conducted with patients with the following conditions:

	Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS)
	Primary snoring
	Sleep apnea syndrome
	Narcolepsy
	Periodic leg movements in sleep
	Biological rhythm disorders
	Primary insomnia
	Nightmares, sleepwalking, bedwetting
	Impotence
	Chronic Fatigue
	Depression and other psychiatric conditions
	Insomnia & EDS associated with other medical conditions (neuromuscular disease, chronic pain, cardiac & pulmonary diseases)

With proper diagnosis, most of these conditions can be appropriately treated. Current therapies include CPAP, medications, short-term psychotherapy, surgical procedures, sleep hygiene and sleep-position training. Biofeedback is also used with some patients.
