Who can make use of our services?Anyone who is having sleep problems and may potentially have a sleep disorder. Would that include you or someone you know? You have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep? You snore and have been told that you stop breathing when you’re sleeping? You have a burning or crawling sensation in your legs when you are sitting in the evening or when sleeping? You are an ‘active’ sleeper? You sleep but do not feel rested after sleeping? You have trouble maintaining alertness in sedentary activities? You have trouble waking up in the morning? If you answered ‘yes’ to even one of these questions, you may have a sleep disorder. Note that adults and children are both subject to sleep disorders, though children are prone to hyperactivity, inattentiveness and behavior problems as a result of sleep loss, while adults are more likely to be lethargic and unresponsive. Research has shown that hypertension, obesity, Type II diabetes and congestive heart failure have a strong relationship particularly to Sleep Disordered Breathing and Obstructive Sleep Apnea. If you suffer from any of these conditions, a sleep disorder screening is advised. If you are a shiftworker and the usual measures to promote health and well-being do not have the desired result, you may have a sleep disorder and a sleep assessment is advised. To access our services call for an appointment or have your physician make a referral. Note that this is a private center and services are paid by the individual at the time of service.
