As many as 70 million Americans may be affected by chronic sleep loss or sleep disorders. There are over 80 known sleep disorders. A sleep disorder keeps a person from sleeping normally. For many people, it is a chronic, nightly problem that can affect daytime behavior. Activities at work, school and relationships can be affected. A sleep disorder can make existing medical conditions worse, or lead to new medical problems. The Missouri Sleep Institute at CMH offers testing for all sleeping disorders in a state-of-the-art laboratory with specially trained technicians.
A light lunch will be served and reservations are requested.
