Sleep Through the Night and Wake Feeling Well-Rested

You want to get back to feeling like yourself again. And if you're suffering from sleep apnea, it all starts with a good night’s sleep. Sleep apnea, a condition in which your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during your sleep, leads to restless nights and tired mornings. It's time to get you back on track by efficiently diagnosing your condition and providing the expert sleep apnea treatments and guidance you need to feel well and well-rested.

With a combined expertise in diet, exercise, and drug therapies, the sleep disorder specialists at AdventHealth look closely at your lifestyle and find solutions that will help you rise every morning refreshed. Together, we’ll seek out a healthy balance of activity, nutrition, and spiritual fulfillment, so that you can manage your sleep apnea and start getting the rest you need.

Sleep Apnea Diagnosis: Something is off, but you’re not sure what. Your partner says you snore. When you wake up, your mouth is dry, and you feel fatigued all day long. Sometimes you fall asleep at your desk. It’s tough to feel like you’re on solid ground when there are so many questions swirling around you. Let us step in and give you some answers. Our highly skilled physicians can determine if sleep apnea is what’s holding you back from feeling rested and clear-headed. We use several different tried and tested methods for assessing whether you have a sleep disorder, including:

Physical examinations, which involve inspections of the throat, tongue, and tonsils, to determine whether enlarged tissue is creating breathing difficulties.

Polysomnographies, which are tests that tracks brain activity, eye movement, heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation levels, to evaluate sleep disorder.

Sleep studies, which monitor your sleep patterns, sleep reaction, and responsiveness during an overnight stay at a sleep center.

By providing the most in-depth tests and sleep studies, we can get you an accurate sleep apnea diagnosis and provide reliable solutions. Let us give you the power to regain control, so you can drift off deeply, night after night.
Types of Sleep Apneas: When you have a sleep disorder, it’s tough to get a handle on all the moving pieces that factor into your discomfort. There are three different types of sleep apnea and each one comes with its own challenges and complexities. AdventHealth will work closely with you to manage these challenges — and fit their solutions into your life. Our qualified professionals are experts in every sleep apnea diagnosis, including:

Central sleep apnea occurs when your brain doesn't send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing.

Obstructive sleep apnea, the most common form, occurs when throat muscles relax.

Treatment-emergent central sleep apnea, or complex sleep apnea syndrome, occurs when you have both obstructive sleep apnea and central sleep apnea.
Sleep Apnea Treatment: You’re pushing through, even without the best sleep. But sleep apnea often affects you in ways you don't see coming — fogginess, forgetfulness, a general malaise. The symptoms can be disconcerting. But we're here to help. We’ll lay out the sleep apnea treatment options that can best help create the necessary conditions for quality sleep. We can start by guiding you to manage lifestyle factors that cause sleep disorders, helping you to:

Achieve Weight Loss

Clear Nasal Passages

Limit Alcohol Consumption

Quit Smoking

Sleep on One Side of the Body

For a more complex solution, we also offer helpful medical devices, including:

Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device, which is a highly effective mask that fits over the nose and/or mouth and gently blows air into the airway to help keep it open during sleep.

Mouthpieces, which can reposition the jaw or the tongue to allow for more airway space.
