Insomnia Treatment

Insomnia, or sleeplessness, is the inability to either initiate sleep, maintain sleep, or both. Insomnia is not in itself a diagnosis. There are many sleep disorders that cause insomnia, and these should be diagnosed for proper treatment. Insomnia causes include many conditions that prevent falling asleep or cause frequent awakenings that disrupt sleep.

No matter what the cause, insomnia can greatly impact quality of life. Daytime fatigue can cause problems with family, with friends, or at work. It can also be dangerous and is known to increase the risk of driving accidents. If you have chronic insomnia, treatment in Chicago is easy to find. The Dr. Michael Friedman and the other otolaryngologists (ear, nose, and throat doctors) who have specialized training in sleep medicine and sleep surgery can determine the cause of insomnia and develop a treatment plan to decrease or eliminate your symptoms.

Finding a chronic insomnia cure in Chicago starts with a visit to the Advanced Center for Specialty Care. After a physician reviews your medical history and symptoms and performs a physical exam, he will discuss additional tests that may be needed to make a diagnosis. Often, one of these tests is a sleep study.

A polysomnogram or sleep study uses a computerized recording of your brain and cardiovascuaascular activity to asses your sleep patterns. Traditionally, sleep studies were performed in hospital or storefront sleep “labs.” It is often very difficult to sleep comfortably in these situations. In order to create an environment to allow for comfortable, natural sleep, Sleep Diagnostics has based their testing sites in luxurious hotel suites. Checking into a comfortable hotel creates a secure, relaxed atmosphere essential for a good nights sleep. As part of the study, you are entitled to enjoy the hotel facilities. The rooms are designed so that data collection goes through a computer port directly to the technician’s suite. Crown Plazas in Chicago and throughout the suburbs make the testing easy to arrange and convenient. The Advanced Center for Specialty Care offers many insomnia remedies for Chicago residents. There is both surgical and non surgical therapy available. However, Chronic insomnia treatment in Chicago can only be prescribed after the cause of insomnia is determined.
