What the Center Can Help Treat
As long as you’re older than five, you can be a patient at the Center for Sleep Disorders. Now, you may be wondering: What kinds of sleep disorders can the doctors as the center treat? Well, pretty much anything that has to do with catching Zzzz’s.
“If sleepiness interferes with work or other daytime activities, and if you’re an adult who gets less than seven hours of sleep a night despite going to go to bed on time, it’s a good idea to get a sleep evaluation,” Jyoti Matta, a pulmonologist and the medical director of the Center told Roi-NJ.com.
So, if you get less than seven hours of sleep, you might want to check out the Center’s sleep evaluation and treatment options. Treatment for excessive daytime sleepiness, insomnia, narcolepsy, parasomnia, restless leg syndrome, and sleep apnea are all available at the Center for Sleep Disorders.
If you’re experiencing symptoms like decreased memory and concentration, depression, difficulty falling and staying asleep, excessive daytime sleepiness, involuntary dozing, kicking leg movements during sleep, and/or unusually loud snoring, you might want to consider getting checked out.

The Center for Sleep Disorders has the ability to conduct several different studies on site. Some of these include a polysomnography or PSG — which monitors a person’s sleep to identify sleep disorders and sleep-related breathing disorders — home polysomnography — in which a PSG is administered at home using a portable testing unit worn overnight — a Positivity Airway Pressure {PAP} Nap — a daytime study for patients who have anxiety about starting PAP therapy, are claustrophobic, or having difficulties with PAP therapy.
The Center for Sleep Disorders is open Monday through Friday from 8:30AM-5:00PM.
