Sleep disorders affect more than 40 million Americans and are a leading cause of depression and accidents. If you suffer from lack of sleep or otherwise experience chronic exhaustion, an evaluation by the NSMC Sleep Center could be your first step back to productive, enjoyable living.
NSMC Sleep Center is one of only five or six accredited sleep labs in Massachusetts (accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.) Accreditation is your reassurance that the sleep lab meets important quality standards and is often required by insurance companies in order for them to cover the costs.
Our board-certified sleep medicine physicians and registered sleep technologists use advanced monitoring techniques, such as the polysomnogram, to detect, diagnose and treat sleep disorders—before they lead to more serious medical consequences.
