The Holzer Sleep Medicine Center is a full service sleep disorder program providing diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. Our philosophy has always been to bring excellence in Sleep Medicine to every part of our area. Our twelve bed sleep medicine center with five convenient locations is fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM).

Types of Sleep Disorders
(a more comprehensive look at various sleep disorders can be found on the Holzer Clinic Sleep Medicine website):

Sleep Apnea

• Breathing stops repeatedly during sleep, snoring, snorting, and gasping for breath
• Excessive daytime sleepiness, high blood pressure, morning headaches, personality changes, or rapid weight gain

Narcolepsy

• Unable to stay awake despite a good night's sleep; may experience sudden muscular weakness when emotionally charged, vivid nightmares or momentary paralysis upon falling asleep or awakening

Nocturnal Myoclonus Syndrome

• Often mistaken for insomnia, legs thrash or move during sleep; other symptoms include aching muscles upon awakening and crawling or restless sensations in the legs.

First, you will fill out a history and a sleep study form. Then you will be escorted to a comfortable, private room where you are prepared for the overnight sleep study. As you fall asleep, your sleep patterns will be monitored for a minimum of six hours. Shower facilities are available for your convenience.

A sleep study at the Holzer Clinic Sleep Disorders lab is an accepted medical procedure and is covered by most third-party carriers. Holzer Clinic will assist in determining whether your insurance will cover these procedures.

A physician referral is required by most insurances for an overnight sleep evaluation. Your personal physician may refer you for a sleep study. For those individuals without a physician, you may contact our sleep disorders lab, and an appointment will be made for you. Your personal physician may also request an evaluation by our sleep specialist.
