The Sleep Lab

Sleep disorders prevent millions of Americans from getting a full night of restful, restorative sleep. The inability to get a good night's sleep is often overlooked or attributed to stress, anxiety or other health conditions. But restful sleep is an essential part of good health, and sleep problems can have a serious impact on your quality of life.

If you are having trouble sleeping at night, you may have a sleep disorder. The Sleep Lab at Scott Memorial Hospital is here to help. Our providers are involved in both patient care and treatment. Let us help you find the right solution to better your sleep.
