Understanding Sleep Disorders
Sleep disorders can significantly impact your quality of life, causing fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and impaired daytime functioning. By understanding the different types of sleep disorders, you can seek appropriate treatment and regain control over your sleep patterns.
Insomnia
Insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, leading to inadequate sleep duration or quality. Our experienced medical professionals at Bay Regional Medical Center will conduct a thorough evaluation to identify the underlying causes of your insomnia and recommend personalized treatment options.
Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a potentially serious sleep disorder that causes breathing interruptions during sleep. It can lead to loud snoring, daytime sleepiness, and increased risk of heart disease and stroke. At Bay Regional Medical Center, we offer state-of-the-art diagnostic tests such as polysomnography to accurately diagnose sleep apnea and provide effective treatment options.
Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)
Restless Legs Syndrome is a neurologic disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move the legs, often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations. Our team of specialists will work closely with you to determine the best treatment plan tailored to alleviate the symptoms and improve your sleep quality.
Narcolepsy
Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that affects the brain's ability to regulate sleep-wake cycles, resulting in excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden sleep attacks. Bay Regional Medical Center offers comprehensive diagnostic services and personalized treatment options to help manage narcolepsy symptoms effectively.

Lifestyle Modifications
Incorporating healthy sleep habits and making lifestyle modifications can significantly improve sleep quality. Our experts will guide you on adopting practices such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, creating a conducive sleep environment, and practicing relaxation techniques for better sleep hygiene.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)
For individuals diagnosed with sleep apnea, CPAP therapy is often recommended. CPAP machines deliver a constant flow of air pressure, preventing airway collapse during sleep. Our team will assist you in selecting the most suitable CPAP device and provide comprehensive education on its usage and maintenance.
Medications
In certain cases, medication may be prescribed to manage symptoms associated with sleep disorders. Our sleep specialists at Bay Regional Medical Center will carefully assess your condition and recommend appropriate medications, monitoring their effectiveness and adjusting the treatment plan as necessary.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I)
CBT-I is a highly effective non-medical treatment that targets the underlying causes of insomnia. Through a combination of cognitive therapy and behavioral techniques, CBT-I can help you develop healthier sleep patterns and overcome insomnia without relying on medications.
