Sleep Medicine

Sleep medicine is a specialized field within neurology that focuses on diagnosing and treating sleep disorders, which can affect overall health and quality of life. These disorders include conditions like insomnia, sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, and narcolepsy. Sleep medicine combines knowledge of neurology with an understanding of sleep patterns and behaviors. Patients may undergo sleep studies to monitor brain activity, breathing, and other bodily functions during sleep. Treatment options can include lifestyle changes, medications, or devices that help improve sleep quality, ultimately aiming to enhance well-being and daily functioning.
