Comprehensive Care for Sleep Disorders
At the UCSF Sleep Disorders Center, we specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of sleep-related conditions, including sleep apnea, insomnia, periodic limb movements, restless legs syndrome, narcolepsy, and snoring. Our state-of-the-art sleep testing facility, located on the Mount Zion campus, has been thoughtfully designed to create a comfortable, hotel-like environment for patients undergoing overnight sleep studies.
Accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, our center serves over 2,000 patients annually, ensuring that each individual receives personalized and effective care. We also facilitate an educational support group dedicated to individuals with obstructive sleep apnea and their families—an invaluable resource for those seeking community and assistance.
Patient Education Resources
We provide a variety of informational resources to help our patients improve their sleep hygiene and overall well-being. For instance, our guidelines on enhancing sleep habits emphasize the importance of a consistent sleep schedule and techniques for avoiding daytime naps. You can also learn about the role of melatonin in sleep regulation, which is detailed in our article discussing how this natural hormone influences sleep patterns.
Additionally, we offer an overnight sleep study to accurately diagnose sleep disorders. To further assist in identifying potential sleep issues, we have created a sleep quiz designed to highlight common symptoms. Snoring, affecting an estimated 20% of the population, can indicate underlying health concerns, which you can explore in more detail through our resources. For more immediate solutions, you might consider trying the number one anti-snoring and sleep apnea solution sold worldwide—a boil-and-bite mouthpiece that works effectively from the very first night.
