Sleep tests are available at St. Francis Sleep Center for residents of Clearwater, New Port Richey, Palm Harbor, Trinity, Tarpon Springs, Dunedin, and other nearby Florida cities. Since 2007, St. Francis has offered a complete, full-service sleep center to care for patients with sleep and wakefulness issues. Our physician, Dr. Frank Averill, is board certified in sleep disorders and oversees a knowledgeable and friendly staff of professionals who are highly trained in performing comfortable, yet effective, sleep testing using the latest diagnostic equipment.
Sleep tests play a key role in diagnosing a wide variety – more than 80 different types – of sleep disorders, the most common of which include:
- Sleep apnea
- Sleep-related neurological disorders, such as restless leg syndrome and narcolepsy
- Parasomnias, such as sleep-walking, -talking, and -eating
- Sleep-related seizure disorders
In fact, sleep issues plague many Americans, between two and four percent of whom suffer from undiagnosed sleep apnea. Sleep tests are vital in these situations because, in addition to making a person feel groggy and irritable, sleep disorders may be evidence of serious health conditions, such as heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, headaches, diabetes, and depression.
At St. Francis, our comprehensive range of consultative services allows us to fully evaluate clinical symptoms. A far cry from the clinical, hospital-like setting so often used for sleep study, our state-of-the-art, unintimidating sleep center boasts the latest technological advances in equipment combined with all the comforts of home. Our sleep tests are fully customized to meet the individual needs of each patient, and each study is thoroughly evaluated by our professional staff to ensure accurate and personalized results.
