📢 Telehealth transformed sleep medicine during COVID-19, expanding access & care. But uncertain coverage risks progress. The @AASMorg urges permanent coverage & fair reimbursement to keep sleep telehealth accessible for all. 🏥💻https://t.co/EDbpBv0d4p #SleepHealth#Telehealth
Happy National Women in Medicine Day!
✨Did you know? Women need more sleep than men, but they’re also more likely to suffer from sleep deprivation —especially in high-stress professions like medicine. Can lead to anxiety, depression and heart disease!
Important to evaluate your sleep health since it can lead to or worsen problems such as:
✨Heart Disease
✨Diabetes
✨Obesity
✨Stroke
✨Mental health issues
💤 Curious about a sleep study?
A sleep study (polysomnography) offers your doctor the most detailed look at your sleep health. By recording brain waves, breathing, heart rate, movements, and oxygen levels, it helps diagnose sleep disorders and create an effective treatment plan.
Your doctor might recommend a sleep study to:
✔️ Test for sleep apnea or other breathing disorders
✔️ Evaluate abnormal sleep behaviors (parasomnias)
✔️ Diagnose narcolepsy or hypersomnia
✔️ Adjust CPAP therapy for better results
✔️ Find out why current treatments aren’t working
