Deer Creek Sleep Lab
Deer Creek Health Center and GRMC offer sleep studies at a new sleep lab in Toledo. This collaboration with Michael M. McCubbin, MD, of Sleep and Pulmonary Services, Inc., allows area residents to have a sleep study. This overnight test evaluates how well you sleep and determines any potential problems preventing you from getting a good night’s sleep. It evaluates a person’s sleeping patterns and monitors signals from the patient’s brain, heart, muscle, eyes, and breathing. This information helps identify sleep disorders.
Common sleep disorders are:
- obstructive sleep apnea
- restless legs syndrome
- insomnia
- narcolepsy
A sleep test can help diagnosis these conditions so medical or behavioral changes can be made.
Signs of a sleep disorder are:
- loud snoring
- gasping
- choking
- regular coughing during the night
- pauses in breathing while sleeping
- excessive daytime sleepiness (trouble staying awake watching TV, driving, or working)
- poor judgment or concentration
- increasing memory loss
- high blood pressure
- depression
- family history of obstructive sleep apnea
- morning headaches
- large neck size (>17” in men, >16” in women)
- obesity
- irritability
- attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (applicable for children)
Individuals with any of these symptoms should speak with their healthcare provider for diagnosis. Area family practice physicians may refer patients to the Deer Creek Sleep Lab. The Deer Creek Sleep Lab brings this much needed diagnostic tool closer to home.
Each test takes approximately eight hours. Usually a minimum of six hours of sleep data is needed for insurance purposes and a patient should anticipate spending eight hours at the sleep test.
Sleep rooms resemble a hotel or a person’s own bedroom. We have full and queen size beds, regular linens (not hospital sheets), and an inviting environment. We make every effort to ensure that each individual is comfortable.
To talk to a sleep specialist from the Deer Creek Sleep Lab, call Michael M. McCubbin, MD, at 641-621-1487
