Why a sleep center?
Significant sleep disorders affect about 15% of the population. Until recently, these problems were either considered psychological or were ignored. Research on sleep has provided important information regarding normal and abnormal sleep, making it possible to develop an objective and systematic approach to diagnosis and treatment of sleep- wake disorders. At Emerald Sleep Disorders Center we apply the latest information to the clinical treatment of patients affected by sleep.
