Sleep Centers

All of us have occasional trouble sleeping. However, when sleep problems occur regularly and interrupt proper sleep, you may have a sleep disorder that requires the professional attention of our staff at Bedford Memorial Hospital Sleep Center. Our sleep specialists can pinpoint which sleep disorder is affecting an individual in as little as one test.

Sleep is a restful time when our bodies replenish themselves and prepare for the next day. Disrupted sleep can disturb daytime alertness and activities in people of all ages. Sometimes medical problems during sleep involve a risk to basic health.

Today, we realize that sleep disorders can lead to dangerous situations. Fortunately, help is available through sleep centers like ours.

The links to the right provide you some tools that may help you in determining whether you may benefit from an evaluation by one of our physicians. Also, if you schedule an appointment, we request that you follow the newsleeppatient link to fill some previsit forms that will help improve your evaluation.

After diagnosis

If a sleep disorder is diagnosed at the Center, our staff works with your physician to decide the appropriate treatment and follow-up care.

You will have a follow-up visit with our physician to discuss the results and recommendations for treatment. Be sure to inquire before your study about scheduling a follow-up visit. Sleep study results are not generally discussed over the telephone because of their complex nature.

To fully understand the results of your sleep study, their implications and any treatment recommendations that are made, you should meet face-to-face with our physician.

Additional procedures are occasionally needed to establish a diagnosis or evaluate a treatment. Our physician will inform you if this is the case.
