BAMC Sleep Center

An estimated 85 million Americans have trouble falling asleep at night or have some kind of sleep disorder. And yet, it is estimated that only 5 percent of people with sleep disorders have sought treatment.

If you or a loved one has a sleep disorder, the treatment you may need is avaiable right here in your community.

Sleep study environment

Your sleep study will be conducted in a private, home-like setting. During sleep testing, the activities that go on in your body while you are sleeping are monitored. Our staff records your sleep patterns from a separate room. The results of your study are then made available to your doctor, who can then help you decide on the best course of treatment.

Sleep disorder symptoms

If you think you have a sleep disorder, your first step is to bring your concern to the attention of your primary care doctor. You may have a sleep disorder if you exhibit one or more of the following:

  • Loud, irregular snoring.
  • Frequent leg twitching.
  • Fatigue, tiredness or sleepiness.
  • Unusual behaviors while sleeping.
  • Witnessed apneas, choking or gasping.
  • Unexplained or worsening heart failure or edema.
  • Depression or difficulty concentrating at work.
  • High blood pressure.
