    Better Sleep, Better Health
    That’s why we’re here.

    Do you sleep like a log but feel unrefreshed in the morning or tired during the day? Do you toss and turn all night? If so, you may be one of the almost 50 million Americans who suffer from a sleep disorder. Most are unaware of their problem and may only be alerted to it by a bed partner.

    Sleep is a basic necessity. When you have a good night’s sleep, you feel refreshed, alert, and ready to face the day. When you don't, every aspect of your life, including your health, can suffer. 
     
    Logan Regional Medical Center offers diagnosis and treatment options for the full spectrum of sleep disorders.

    A restful night's sleep is not a luxury – it's an absolute necessity for good health. Inadequate sleep causes a variety of problems, from the obvious symptoms such as daytime drowsiness, to hidden risks such as increased chances of developing heart disease. Causes of poor sleep vary widely, including snoring, sleep apnea (interrupted breathing), restless leg syndrome, or even poor habits regarding your sleep routine, such as eating late at night or watching TV in bed.

    The need for sleep varies throughout the lifecycle. Most people realize that infants and children need significantly more sleep than adults. Teenagers, on the other hand, may not need as much sleep as children, but their sleep cycle may shift, causing them to feel wakeful late at night, while wanting to "sleep in" rather than bounding out of bed in the morning to prepare for school.

    Most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each day. The elderly may spend less time in deep sleep and find they are easily awakened; however, they often offset this by taking naps during the day. Average total sleep time for those over 65 actually increases.

    Sleepiness Scale

    The Epworth Sleepiness Scale was developed to determine the level of daytime sleepiness in individuals. It has become one of the most frequently used methods for determining a person’s average daytime sleepiness.
