Sleepiness Testing

& Treatment

Excessive sleepiness is not a disorder of itself; it is a severe symptom that can have many various causes. If you feel excessively sleepy during daytime hours, we can help. The common causes are poor sleeping habits, such as a reduced chance for sleep or an irregular sleep schedule. Our doctor will evaluate you through a sleep study and determine the cause of your excessive sleepiness and plan the best course of treatment for you.  

Narcolepsy is a lifetime sleep disorder that makes you feel overwhelmingly tired, and in severe circumstances, you can have unexpected sleep attacks. Narcolepsy can affect nearly every part of your life. It is dangerous because you can have extreme sleepiness or a sleep attack at any time of the day, during any activity, like eating, driving, or walking. Operating a vehicle with untreated narcolepsy can be highly dangerous, and some states even have laws against it.
