Better Sleep for a Healthier Life

A lack of deep, beneficial sleep can lead to a host of health problems, and unfortunately, most people aren’t getting enough rest. According to the National Sleep Foundation, two thirds of the population suffer from a sleep disorder, but at Baptist Health, we’re working to change that. Fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, Baptist Health Sleep Centers of Arkansas provide care for problems such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy, night seizures and restless leg syndrome. Through advanced technology and expert staff, we’re able to test, analyze and treat an array of sleep disorders – and help you get the rest you need. If you’re having difficulty sleeping, are snoring regularly or often feel tired during the day, request an appointment with one of our sleep specialists at a Baptist Health Sleep Center nearest you.

Sleep Disorder Treatments and Services

Sleep Study

A sleep study is a test that records your nighttime sleep patterns to determine how well you sleep and how your body responds to sleep problems. These tests can help your doctor find out whether you have a sleep disorder along with its severity. Patients across the sleep centers of Arkansas benefit from these studies to get an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan.

Mouthpiece

A mouthpiece, sometimes called an oral appliance, may help some people who have mild sleep apnea or who snore loudly but don’t have sleep apnea. A dentist or orthodontist can make a custom-fit plastic mouthpiece that will adjust your lower jaw and tongue to help keep your airways open while you sleep.

Breathing Machine (CPAP)

Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), sometimes called a breathing machine, is the most common and effective nonsurgical treatment for moderate to severe sleep apnea in adults. A CPAP machine uses a facial mask that fits over your mouth and/or nose and gently blows air into your throat to help keep your airway open while you sleep. Once your otolaryngologist determines that CPAP is the right treatment, you will need to wear the CPAP mask every night.
