Durant Sleep Diagnostics

Although communities throughout the US are starting to get back to normal, we still do not know the lasting damages COVID-19 has unleashed on the world, and it could be years before we fully understand them. However, scientists and researchers are working hard to find commonalities between individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 to determine how it will affect the body in the future.

In a recent study, researchers identified that survivors are more likely to develop insomnia. Developing insomnia can be detrimental to an individual because sleep is a crucial part of our lives. Not receiving the proper amount of sleep can increase your chances of developing severe diseases in the future. If you have overcome your COVID-19 diagnosis and are having issues falling asleep, we recommend seeing a doctor and having a sleep study scheduled!

Did you know 30 million Americans are diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)!? Not only does OSA negatively affect the amount of sleep an individual receives, but it also increases their chances of developing severe diseases in the future.

Although narcolepsy is the least common sleep disorder, individuals need to be aware of it because it can severely affect the body. Narcolepsy occurs when an individual experiences an immense amount of drowsiness throughout the day and randomly falls asleep while doing everyday activities. Even though this disorder has no cure, medical professionals have identified lifestyle changes that individuals can adopt to help manage their condition.
