Home Delivery Medical now provides sleep labs with all the equipment and supplies needed to manage both the study and the treatment of sleep disorders. 

August 25, 2009 (Greenville, South Carolina) According to the National Institute of Health, approximately 70 million Americans suffer from sleep disorders.  The growing awareness of these disorders has led to an upsurge of sleep labs across the country, all of which rely on specialized equipment to properly diagnose and treat each patient.  Home Delivery Medical is now one of the elite medical suppliers that can fully service America’s sleep labs as well as their patients with professional equipment, supplies, and service.    

Sleep disorders are a growing problem for the American public which can disrupt one’s relationships, job performance, and general health.  The goal of every sleep center is to properly identify, diagnose, and treat one of over 84 different classifications of sleep disorders by performing a polysomnogram.  A polysomnogram requires state-of-the-art technology to properly monitor the patient’s eye movement, brain waves, muscle activity, breathing patterns, body position, and heartbeat.  Home Delivery Medical provides sleep centers with the tools and equipment they need to not only run their businesses, but to properly diagnose their patients and stay ahead of their competition. 

Lenny Mara, long time sleep consultant and head of Home Delivery Medical’s Sleep Center Division says, “It’s a great opportunity for Home Delivery Medical to enter the Sleep Lab market.  These sleep labs are looking for quality products, fast delivery, and competitive pricing.  From the carpet and artwork to the sensors and monitors, we are in a great position to help build these sleep centers from the ground up.”

Sleep centers across America have seen an influx of patients due to stress and anxiety caused by the recession.  Where it used to take 2 days to schedule an appointment, it may take 2 months now.  VP of Operations of Home Delivery Medical, Michael Laico, states, “Sleep science is a rapidly growing industry and sleep centers are dealing with more volume than they have been accustomed to.  While many centers used to Google products to find the cheapest price, they can now rely on a trusted relationship with an established leader in medical supplies to save them time and money.  Home Delivery Medical is a one-stop-shop for sleep centers nationwide.”

Here are some common Sleep Disorders:

• Primary insomnia: Chronic difficulty in falling asleep and/or maintaining sleep when no other cause is found for these symptoms.

• Bruxism: Involuntarily grinding or clenching of the teeth while sleeping

• Delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS): inability to awaken and fall asleep at socially acceptable times but no problem with sleep maintenance, a disorder of circadian rhythms. Other such disorders are advanced sleep phase syndrome (ASPS) and Non-24-hour sleep-wake syndrome (Non-24), both much less common than DSPS.

• Hypopnea syndrome: Abnormally shallow breathing or slow respiratory rate while sleeping

• Narcolepsy: Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) often culminating in falling asleep spontaneously but unwillingly at inappropriate times.

• Night terror, Pavor nocturnus, sleep terror disorder: abrupt awakening from sleep with behavior consistent with terror

• Parasomnias: Disruptive sleep-related events involving inappropriate actions during sleep stages - sleep walking and night-terrors are examples.

• Periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD): Sudden involuntary movement of arms and/or legs during sleep, for example kicking the legs. Also known as nocturnal myoclonus. See also Hypnic jerk, which is not a disorder.

• Rapid eye movement behavior disorder (RBD): Acting out violent or dramatic dreams while in REM sleep

• Restless legs syndrome (RLS): An irresistible urge to move legs. RLS sufferers often also have PLMD.

• Situational circadian rhythm sleep disorders: shift work sleep disorder (SWSD) and jet lag

• Obstructive sleep apnea: Obstruction of the airway during sleep, causing lack of sufficient deep sleep; often accompanied by snoring. Other forms of sleep apnea are less common.

• Sleep paralysis is characterized by temporary paralysis of the body shortly before or after sleep. Sleep paralysis may be accompanied by visual, auditory or tactile hallucinations. Not a disorder unless severe. Often seen as part of Narcolepsy.

• Sleepwalking or somnambulism: Engaging in activities that are normally associated with wakefulness (such as eating or dressing), which may include walking, without the conscious knowledge of the subject.

What is Sleep Apnea?

Sleep apnea is a life-threatening condition that affects approximately 18 million adults in the United States, and is most common among overweight men.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is the repeated interruption of breathing during sleep. When the muscles which support the tongue and soft palate relax during sleep; the airway becomes narrowercausing snoring and some breathing difficulty. When these muscles relax excessively, the tongue and tissues completely block the airway preventing breathing completely. An apnea, which is the cessation of breathing for at least 10 seconds, can occur as many as 20 to 60 times within an hour. When this happens, the quality of one's sleep is greatly compromised, and it can also lead to numerous health conditions and a decline in the quality of life. Through the use of a CPAP machine, sleep apnea can be treated without medication or surgery.
