Forty million Americans have a sleep disorder. Are you one of them?

If you have trouble sleeping, chances are you’ve rationalized it in any number of ways. But not resting soundly on a regular basis might be costing you more than just pleasant dreams – an untreated sleep disorder can lead to serious health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, depression and more.

Established in 1978, Crozer Health's accredited, multidisciplinary program is the first in the Delaware Valley to earn national accreditation. Our program includes a team of board-certified physician specialists who are trained in sleep medicine, as well as other specialty areas:

  • Neurology
  • Pulmonology
  • Neuropsychology
  • Pediatric Sleep Medicine
  • Oral-Maxillofacial Surgery, Dentistry
  • Otolaryngology (Ear, Nose and Throat)

Our team also includes a caring and compassionate technical staff.

The Sleep Centers at Crozer Health Pavilion at Brinton Lake, Delaware County Memorial Hospital, and Taylor Hospital are accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Accreditation assures patients that the Crozer Health Sleep Centers offer superior quality medical care.

Common Adult Sleep Disorders

Sleepiness is commonly experienced by anyone who is sleep-deprived. Evaluation at the Crozer Health Sleep Centers will help confirm a diagnosis and establish a treatment program. The following are the most common adult sleep disorders:

  • Chronic Sleep Deprivation: A severe and continual lack of sleep, when the patient routinely sleeps less than what is required for optimal functioning.
  • Insomnia: Short and poor quality sleep that affects your functioning during the day.
  • Narcolepsy: A chronic disorder of the central nervous system characterized by the brain's inability to control sleep-wake cycles.
  • Parasomnias: A disruptive sleep-related disorder that can occur during arousals from rapid eye movement (REM) sleep or arousals from non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep.
  • Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD): Simple, repetitive, uncontrollable and often imperceptive muscle movements that occur while your body is at rest.
  • Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS): A condition in which your legs feel very uncomfortable when you're sitting or lying down.
  • Sleep Apnea: A serious, potentially life-threatening condition that is far more common than generally understood.

Sleep Studies

In-Lab Sleep Studies

The fancy name for the most common type of sleep study is polysomnography, and it’s the gold standard in testing for sleep disorders. It might sound intimidating, but the process is actually low-key and painless.

Home Sleep Studies

If your doctor is recommending testing for sleep apnea, be sure to ask your Crozer Health sleep technician if you qualify for our new at-home sleep study.

Pediatric Sleep Studies

Using the latest technology and drawing from the most current research in the field, Crozer Health Sleep Centers offer specialized care to pediatric patients and their families.

Unique Multidisciplinary Approach

Crozer Health ’s unique approach to treating sleep disorders can’t be found at every sleep center. Our multidisciplinary team includes board-certified physician specialists trained in sleep medicine, as well as seven other medical specialties.

  • Most sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea, are characterized by breathing problems.

    A pulmonologist – a physician who specializes in lungs and breathing – might recommend a therapy called continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) to help you breathe easier at night.

  • Neurologists deal with several types of sleep disorders, including narcolepsy, parasomnias, circadian rhythm disorders and central sleep apnea.

    Neurologists can also detect epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, dementias, stroke, multiple sclerosis and other neurological diseases that can have a major impact on sleep.

  • A neuropsychologist is a behavioral sleep specialist who can help treat the emotional and behavioral aspects of insomnia, including that overwhelming frustration and sense of a “racing mind” that keeps you from falling asleep.

    Neuropsychologists can also help you address underlying depression or anxiety issues, or deal with shift-work-related sleep problems.

  • Pediatric sleep medicine is a relatively new field, and problems like sleep walking, night terrors and even sleep apnea often go untreated in children.

    A child who experiences symptoms that include snoring, inability to fall or stay asleep, or being tired or overly excitable during the day may benefit from a visit to a pediatric sleep specialist.

  • Otolaryngologists, commonly called ear, nose and throat surgeons, can help manage obstructive sleep apnea with surgical correction of the airway in the throat or nasal passages.

    For example, your ENT physician might recommend removing tonsils and adenoids, repairing a deviated septum or widening your palate or nasal passages.

  • Oral and maxillofacial surgeons can treat obstructive sleep apnea by using several surgical techniques. By repositioning the upper and lower jaw, most sleep apnea conditions can be completely resolved.

    They can also improve your airway by performing surgery around your chin to pull the tongue forward.

  • If you have obstructive sleep apnea, your physician might recommend an oral appliance to keep your lower jaw and tongue in a forward position.

    Oral appliances are an easy and frequently used alternative to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and surgical procedures in patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea and/or snoring disorders.
