At Orange City Area Health System, we are proud to offer a fully accredited sleep lab that is solely dedicated to helping patients improve their quality of life through better sleep.

According to the National Sleep Foundation, approximately 50-70 million Americans suffer from sleep disorders and problems, but unfortunately, due to a lack of awareness and education, over half of them remain undiagnosed or untreated.

A formal sleep study is a non-invasive study conducted by one of our partnered sleep technicians from SomniTech. The study will look at multiple aspects of your sleep, such as brain waves, heart rhythm, respiration, eye movement, and leg movement. We know that sleeping away from home can be a challenge, that is why we have set up our sleep lab to convey the home environment as much as possible. Our sleep lab rooms are spacious with full size beds to help ensure comfort and privacy.
To find out more about obtaining a sleep study contact your provider or the Orange City Area Health System Respiratory Therapy department.
May is “Mental Health Awareness Month” and “Better Sleep Month”, both of which are important to our overall health and well-being. Mental health and sleep are closely interconnected and considered bi-directional. This means that poor mental health can cause sleep problems, and sleep problems can cause mental illness. Many mental health conditions have symptoms that make falling and staying asleep difficult. In turn, lack of quality sleep fuels the vicious cycle of worsening mental health → insomnia → worsening mental health → insomnia → worsening mental health….
