Overview

Thousands of people across the region struggle with chronic sleep deficiency. The Sleep Disorders Program at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi’s Integrated Hospital Care Institute is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders.

The Sleep Disorders Program offers a state-of-the-art facility with sleep laboratory capabilities that enable American Board of Sleep Medicine-certified physicians to undertake detailed studies to provide Patients First diagnosis and treatment.

What We Treat

The most common symptoms of sleep disorders include:

  • Restless and unrefreshing sleep
  • Daytime sleepiness
  • Trouble falling and staying asleep at night
  • Restless legs (intense urge to move the legs).

Symptoms may indicate one of several conditions, including:

  • Sleep apnea: A condition in which breathing occasionally stops during sleep due to the airway closing periodically during sleep (obstructive sleep apnea) or a problem with the brain signaling to the muscles responsible for breathing (central sleep apnea).
  • Insomnia: Consistent difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.
  • Narcolepsy: A disorder of the sleep-wake cycle that may cause periodic, extreme daytime sleepiness.
  • REM (rapid eye movement) behavior disorder: A condition in which individuals become physically active during the REM sleep cycle when they dream. This may involve sleep talking, sleep walking and other abnormal movements while sleeping.
  • Delayed sleep phase syndrome: Trouble falling asleep at a standard time, causing difficulty waking up early.
  • Restless leg syndrome (RLS): Also known as Willis-Ekbom Disease, a condition characterized by a need to move the legs during times of inactivity, including sleep.
  • Sleep-related movement disorders: Abnormal or excessive movement during sleep, including motions with the arms or legs, teeth grinding, and restless leg syndrome.

Sleep apnea, a more serious condition, is manifested with distinct symptoms which include snoring, gasping, choking, and pauses in breathing during sleep.
