Harrington Memorial Hospital Sleep Disorder Lab
- Today's society not only feels the pressure of trying to get more done in a day, but more than 40 million Americans have been reported to suffer from sleep disorders.
- Sleep disorders have become a public health issue. Health care professionals need to become aware of the impact that sleep related issues have upon ones health, productivity and safety. Individuals need to be responsible and maximize their sleep quality while employers may be asked to be liable of their workers fatigue.
- Major industrial catastrophes such as the Three Mile Island incident have been attributed to human error related to worker fatigue/sleepiness. Many lawsuits have been rewarded due to injuries caused by sleep deprivation.
- Because sleep disorders can be indicators of hidden health conditions, a complete sleep evaluation is indicated for those with symptoms such as snoring, observed stopped breathing events, restless sleep, excessive daytime sleepiness, mood swings, morning headaches and memory loss.
- If you or someone you know complains of any of these symptoms the Sleep Lab can be of assistance to you. Our service offers a comprehensive approach including consultation, evaluation, diagnosis, treatment and education.
- We look forward to helping those who experience diminished quality of life and deteriorating health to be treated by our experienced staff of professionals.
