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

What is a Sleep Medicine specialist?

A sleep medicine specialist is a board-certified doctor who has specialized training in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. They often have backgrounds in pulmonology, neurology, or otolaryngology, allowing them to offer a comprehensive approach 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. Fortunately, treatment is a critical step in preventing these serious long-term complications.

What happens during a sleep study (polysomnogram)?

During a sleep study, we monitor your brain waves, heart rate, breathing, and body movements overnight. This non-invasive test provides a complete picture of your sleep patterns, acting as the gold standard for accurately diagnosing sleep disorders and creating an effective prevention plan.

How does an Otolaryngologist (ENT) help with sleep problems?

An ENT is a surgeon specializing in the ear, nose, and throat. They can identify and surgically correct physical blockages, such as a deviated septum or large tonsils, which can cause snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Sometimes, this can provide a permanent solution.

What is CPAP therapy and how does it work?

CPAP therapy is a common and effective treatment for sleep apnea. A CPAP machine delivers gentle, continuous air pressure through a mask to keep your airway open during sleep, preventing breathing pauses. This helps restore healthy sleep and protect your heart.

What is a Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT)?

The Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) is a daytime test, often following an overnight sleep study. It involves a series of scheduled naps to objectively measure how quickly you fall asleep in quiet environments. This test is primarily used to diagnose conditions like narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia.

How is chronic insomnia treated?

Treatment for chronic insomnia goes beyond just sleeping pills. Our first-line approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), a program that retrains the brain and body for healthy sleep by addressing thoughts and behaviors that interfere with sleep. This is often the most effective long-term solution.

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 sleep specialist can create a management plan with medication and lifestyle strategies to help prevent symptoms from significantly impacting your life.
