What do expert sleep consultations involve?
Expert sleep consultations are meetings between you and a qualified health care professional where you discuss any problems you have sleeping. At your initial visit, you see one of the Century Sleep Inc. board-certified sleep physicians in a one-on-one discussion.
You undergo a comprehensive sleep evaluation during this visit, which can take place in person or via a secure video link. Your doctor asks about your typical sleep patterns, other mental and physical health problems, and your current lifestyle. They need to determine the following:
How many hours you sleep each night
How well-rested you feel after sleep
If you experience excessive daytime sleepiness
What you do before sleeping
Any disruptions to your sleep
Your doctor also asks specific questions that help identify a range of sleep disorders, from sleep apnea and narcolepsy to insomnia and restless legs syndrome.
Why would I need an expert sleep consultation?
You could benefit from an expert sleep consultation if you have symptoms of a sleep disorder or frequently fail to get enough restorative sleep.
Sleep is vital for mental and physical health. Lack of good quality sleep can have severe consequences, increasing your risk of chronic health conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Your mental and physical functioning suffers, so you can’t perform as well at work and struggle at home.
Undergoing a sleep consultation helps identify why you’re having trouble sleeping. The skilled Century Sleep Inc. team helps you overcome these difficulties and enjoy good quality sleep, significantly improving your health and well-being.
What happens after my expert sleep consultation?
Depending on the information they receive during your sleep consultation, your doctor may recommend scheduling a sleep study. This is a diagnostic procedure that measures your body’s activities during sleep.
Sleep studies measure your brain activity using an electroencephalograph (EEG) and your heart activity using an electrocardiogram (EKG). Other measurements include eye movement with an electrooculogram (EOG), breathing, muscle movement with electromyography (EMG), and chest and abdomen movement.
The Century Sleep Inc. team recognizes the importance continuity of care has in patient outcomes. They provide follow-up consultations to assess your progress and adjust your treatment plan where necessary.
Team members also maintain long-term relationships with all their patients to ensure they get the sleep they deserve. Patients can contact their providers at any time with questions or concerns.
