Do you have trouble sleeping or feel tired most of the time? You aren’t alone. You may have a sleep disorder. Many sleep disorders go undiagnosed, but they are treatable and can be managed.

| Sleep Apnea Insomnia Narcolepsy Sleep Paralysis Sleep-Wake Cycle Disorders Periodic Limb Movement Syndrome Restless Leg Syndrome | Sleep Talking Sleep Walking Daytime Sleepiness Unrestful Sleep Awakening with Headaches Difficulty Breathing During Sleep Snoring |
Sleep Treatments
- PAP Therapy (Positive Airway Therapy): CPAP or BiPAP machine is worn during sleep and blows a constant stream of air so the airways do not become obstructed or collapse during sleep, preventing cessation of breathing.
- Counseling: in some cases of insomnia, patients will be referred to counseling as long term use of sleep aids are not recommended.
- Medications: in cases of idiopathic hyper somnolence or narcolepsy, medication may be used to control the symptoms of sleepiness.
- Sleep Hygiene Education: receive education on how to get the best sleep.
- Close Follow-Up: we provide close follow-up every six months to one year in order to ensure compliance with PAP therapy.
Innovative Sleep Apnea Treatment
Singing River is the only health system on the Mississippi Gulf Coast offering Inspire sleep apnea treatment system. Inspire is an alternative to CPAP that works inside your body while you sleep. It’s a small device placed during a same-day, outpatient procedure.
