Insomnia ProgramInsomnia is the most common sleep complaint affecting up to one third of adults at least some of the time. Insomnia can have many different causes and requires a thorough assessment. Our experts will perform a comprehensive medical evaluation and develop a treatment plan focusing on non-pharmacological approaches to the treatment of insomnia. Pediatric Sleep StudiesA sleep study or polysomnogram measures the quality of a person's sleep. This test is extremely valuable for diagnosing and treating many sleep disorders, including neurological disorders, movement disorders, and breathing disorders at night. For studying the quality of sleep, small electrodes (small round metal discs) are applied to your child's scalp, on both sides of your child's head, and under your child's chin. This lets us measure your child's brain waves, eye movements, and muscle tone.
