Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Sleep Medicine care with Dr. Soseh PHD:

What is a Sleep Medicine specialist?

A sleep medicine specialist, like Dr. Soseh PhD, is a board-certified doctor who has specialized training in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. They often have backgrounds in pulmonology, neurology, or otolaryngology, bringing a unique perspective to finding the root cause of your sleep problems.

What is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and why is it a health risk?

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep due to a blocked airway. Untreated OSA is a major risk factor for high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Treatment is a critical step in preventing these serious long-term complications.

What happens during a sleep study (polysomnogram)?

A sleep study, or polysomnogram, is a safe, non-invasive overnight test that monitors your brain waves, heart rate, breathing, and body movements. This comprehensive evaluation provides a detailed picture of your sleep patterns, serving as the gold standard for diagnosing sleep disorders and creating a tailored prevention plan.

How is chronic insomnia treated?

Treatment for chronic insomnia goes beyond just sleeping pills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the first-line, most effective long-term treatment. This program helps retrain the brain and body for healthy sleep by addressing the thoughts and behaviors that prevent it.

What is the connection between depression/anxiety and sleep?

Depression and anxiety can disrupt sleep, and conversely, poor sleep can worsen symptoms of these conditions. Our practice addresses both the sleep disorder and the mood disorder to break this negative cycle and promote overall well-being. Comprehensive care is crucial for effective treatment.

What is narcolepsy?

Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological condition where the brain has trouble regulating sleep-wake cycles, leading to excessive daytime sleepiness and sometimes cataplexy. While there's no cure, a management plan with medication and lifestyle strategies can be created by a specialist to help prevent symptoms from significantly impacting daily life.

Why would a Neurologist be involved in my sleep care?

Neurologists, like Dr. Soseh, specialize in the brain and nervous system. They are uniquely qualified to diagnose and treat sleep disorders that originate in the brain's control centers, such as narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, and parasomnias.

Are there alternatives to CPAP for treating sleep apnea?

Yes, there are alternatives to CPAP, including custom-made oral appliances that reposition the jaw and surgical options to address anatomical blockages. These are important options to consider in a personalized treatment plan.
