Overview
Sleep is an important, restorative process that is critical to your overall general health and wellness. Considering that we spend about one-third of our lives sleeping, the quality of our sleep plays a significant role in our lives.
Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, snoring and daytime sleepiness are not normal and could represent a potentially life-threatening problem. If you're experiencing these issues, then you've probably also noticed how these symptoms are interfering with your daily life and your ability to perform at your best level; however, you may not know that Cleveland Clinic Akron General Sleep Centers offer solutions.
If you're ready to take the first step, talk to your physician about your symptoms and sleep issues. He or she can help determine whether you should see an Akron General sleep specialist.

Convenient home testing
Medicare beneficiaries now qualify for unattended home sleep apnea evaluations.
Akron General Sleep Centers are one of the first in the area to offer unattended sleep apnea diagnostic testing to patients in the privacy and comfort of your own home.
Key risk factors for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) include loud and frequent snoring, daytime sleepiness and obesity. Most adults who have OSA have not yet been diagnosed.
If you think that you or someone in your family may have a nocturnal breathing disorder and would like to determine if in-home testing may be right for you, talk to your doctor, who could refer you to Akron General Sleep Centers for an evaluation by calling 330.344.6751.
