Have you heard all the hype?? If you struggle with sleep apnea, an innovative treatment option called the Inspire Device is taking the world by storm!

But you may be wondering... What is Inspire Sleep Apnea Innovation? And how does it work??

Inspire is an alternative to CPAP that works inside your body while you sleep. It’s a small device placed during a same-day, outpatient procedure. When you’re ready for bed, simply click the remote to turn Inspire on. While you sleep, Inspire opens your airway, allowing you to breathe normally and sleep peacefully.

At Geauga Sleep Center, we are proud to be an independent accredited sleep lab conducting Inspire device evaluations for our patients! Contact us today at 440-285-4570 to schedule your consultation.

Happy World Senior Citizen's Day! First celebrated in 1991, this day is intended to increase awareness of the factors and issues that affect older adults, such as health deterioration and elder abuse.

One sleep disorder that affects many aging adults is sleep apnea. According to The Center for Disease Control, an estimated 100 million people worldwide have sleep apnea. Equally alarming, 80 percent of these people remain undiagnosed. Thankfully, sleep apnea is a reversible disorder when under the care of a medical physician who specializes in sleep disorders, such as the team here at Geauga Sleep Center.

Advocate for yourself and the older adults in your life! Take a moment today to let them know how much you appreciate them :)

Do you battle sleeplessness at night? You may be experiencing insomnia.

Insomnia typically results in functional impairments while awake and can occur at any age, but it is particularly common in the elderly. Insomnia can be short term (up to three weeks) or long term (above 3–4 weeks), which can lead to memory problems, depression, irritability and an increased risk of heart disease and automobile-related accidents.

At the Geauga Sleep Center, we employ several methods for management of insomnia including cognitive behavioral therapy, sleep restriction therapy and as a last resort, medications. If you think you may be experiencing insomnia, please contact us at 440-285-4570 to schedule a consultation.
