Get a good night’s sleep |

There are many tragic car accidents in Western New York that have been blamed on drowsy driving. Studies show that being awake for more than 20 hours results in an impairment equal to a blood alcohol level of 0.08, the legal limit in all states. If you happen to find yourself dozing off behind the wheel, tired all the time, or having trouble concentrating, you may suffer from a sleep disorder. The dream team at SleepCare, the sleep center at Sisters of Charity Hospital, St. Joseph Campus, can help you get a good night’s sleep by offering the most advanced sleep testing services for the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of sleep disorders. Approximately 40 million people in the United States suffer from chronic sleep disorders, including sleep apnea, which is pauses in breathing during sleep, with an additional 20 to 30 million affected by intermittent sleep-related problems. Today’s economy has also exacerbated a condition called job-related sleep restriction, caused when people work more and sleep less. Respondents to the New York State survey who reported drowsy-driving incidents, cited numerous reasons related to work patterns, including working more than one job, working extended shifts and working more hours each week. According to the National Commission on Sleep Disorders, an overwhelming majority of sleep disorders remain undiagnosed and untreated. SleepCare specializes in sleep testing, known as polysomnography, to help in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep-related disorders. Patients undergoing a sleep study spend a night in the SleepCare Sleep Center, which looks like a typical hotel room. Through painless, non-invasive sensors places on various parts of the body, technicians can record sleep patterns and other medical data, while patients sleep, to allow physicians to identify abnormal sleep conditions. Catholic Health also offers sleep testing services at Mercy Hospital in Buffalo. Depending on the severity of the condition, treatment options can range from the mild assistive devices to provide extra oxygen during sleep, to surgical procedures to open obstructed airways. SleepCare is working with the National Sleep Foundation to increase awareness of the importance of getting a good night’s sleep.
