Providence Lung & Sleep Disorder Clinic
Sleep disorders involve any difficulties related to sleeping, including difficulty falling or staying asleep, falling asleep at inappropriate times, excessive total sleep time, or abnormal behaviors associated with sleep.
Problems sleeping are perhaps one of the most common health complaints after the common cold. They range from insomnia to more troubling conditions like sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome and narcolepsy.
According to the American Lung Association, lung disease is the third leading killer in the United States, responsible for 400,000 deaths a year or one in six deaths. More than 35 million Americans have chronic lung diseases, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (emphysema and chronic bronchitis), and pulmonary fibrosis.
