Sleep Center
More than one-third of the population has trouble sleeping according to a recent Gallup Poll. The effects of sleep disorders range from simple irritation to very serious conditions. They can impact your health and interfere with your daily activities.
That's why we have opened a brand new center. The Sleep Center of Jersey Shore University Medical Center can diagnose and treat your problem. Through careful evaluation, our board-certified experts in sleep care may determine you would benefit from a sleep study in our home-like atmosphere.

CPAP—The Gold Standard
in Treatment for Sleep Apnea
People who have sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly during sleep because the airway collapses and prevents air from getting into the lungs. These pauses can occur quite often and for varying lengths of time. But each one puts strain on the heart and can lead to serious conditions.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the most common treatment. It provides a continuous stream of air pressure to keep your airway open.
This may be administered during your sleep study, along with careful attention to measures of sleep through video monitoring.
