The Center, which evaluates and treats approximately 1,500 patients annually, provides a full range of diagnostic and treatment services for disorders of sleep and wakefulness. These include hypersomnias, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, periodic limb movements in sleep, insomnias, parasomnias (sleep walking, night terrors), and disorders of the sleep-wake schedule. The staff of the center includes specialists in medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, neurology, otolaryngology and dentistry who provide a multidisciplinary team approach to patient care.

Diagnostic services of the Center include an outpatient clinic and sleep laboratory where polysomnography and multiple sleep latency testing are performed. Patients with sleep apnea receive nasal CPAP/BiPAP evaluation and treatment when indicated. Other treatment services include pharmacological therapy, behavioral therapy, sleep hygiene training, dental appliances and upper airway surgery in selected cases. Long-term follow-up is provided for all treatment cases.
