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

What is a Sleep Medicine specialist?

A sleep medicine specialist is a board-certified doctor who has received specialized training in diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. They often have backgrounds in pulmonology, neurology, or otolaryngology, providing a unique perspective on 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 critical 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, which is 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, like a deviated septum or large tonsils, that contribute to snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, sometimes providing a lasting solution.

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 your brain and body for healthy sleep by addressing the thoughts and behaviors that interfere with it. CBT-I is highly effective for long-term sleep improvement.

What is the connection between depression/anxiety and sleep?

Depression and anxiety can significantly impact sleep, and conversely, poor sleep can worsen symptoms of these conditions. Our practice emphasizes comprehensive care, treating both the sleep disorder and the mood disorder together to break this negative cycle and improve overall well-being.

What is a Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT)?

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

Why would a Neurologist be involved in my sleep care?

Neurologists specialize in the brain and nervous system. They diagnose and treat sleep disorders originating in the brain's control centers, including narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome, and parasomnias. Dr. Rose LCSW may work collaboratively with a neurologist depending on the specific sleep disorder.
