There are few things as disruptive to well-being than having difficulty sleeping. NYC Health + Hospitals recognizes this and is committed to delivering high-quality, comprehensive sleep disorder care integrated with social supports to help New Yorkers get the sleep they need.
Both adults and children can suffer from sleep disorders. In fact, 4 percent of adults suffer from sleep apnea, a sleep disorder in which breathing stops and starts. Risk factors for sleeping disorders include:
- Being overweight and having a large neck circumference
- Having a narrow airway
- Chronic nasal congestion
- Smoking
Sleep disorders can be solved with simple lifestyle changes, such as altering nighttime habits. However, people with a serious sleep disorder may require specialized diagnosis and treatment, available at a sleep disorder lab. If you visit one of our labs for treatment, here’s what you can expect:
- You’ll spend the night sleeping onsite at our sleep facility.
- We connect you to sleep-monitoring technology.
- You begin your normal bedtime routine until you fall asleep.
- We monitor and record your breathing, brainwaves and movement.
- We score your electronic sleep record and diagnose your condition.
- We provide treatment options.
NYC Health + Hospitals/Kings County Sleep Disorder Center is the largest sleep lab in our health system. Our other excellent sleep lab facilities include:
- NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue
- NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi
