OSMI is a sleep disorders center dedicated to excellence in sleep medicine care. The Ohio Sleep Medicine Institute’s founding clinic in Dublin has been accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (previously the American Sleep Disorders Association) for 20 years and has developed its own trademark program as a Center of Sleep Medicine Excellence™. Our commitment to excellence includes the following:

• Rigorous training of board certified physicians and experienced/registered technicians
• Professional work ethic
• Comprehensive evaluation of patients with in-depth initial consultation and follow-up care
• Accurate interpretation of overnight sleep studies by our physicians
• Diagnosis and treatment of all sleep disorders
• Comprehensive and customized patient care
• Timely communication of sleep evaluations to referring physicians
• On going patient support regarding sleep related issues
• Health insurance pre-certification
• Lectures, seminars and workshops offered to health professionals

Our clinic is directed by Dr. Markus Schmidt whose clinical expertise has earned him the honor as Top Doctor in sleep medicine in Columbus Monthly, 2008, 2009 and 2010. He has also been elected by his peers for inclusion in the Best Doctor in America© database from 2007 to 2012 in the field of sleep medicine. Dr. Asim Roy recently joined Ohio Sleep Medicine Institute where he is clinical and research associate. Both physicians are board certified in sleep medicine and neurology. The clinic was originally founded by Dr. Helmut Schmidt whose vast knowledge, experience and expertise have been instrumental in establishing sleep medicine as a recognized specialty. He was the first President of the American Board of Sleep Medicine and founding organizer of the first annual Associated Professional Sleep Societies (APSS) meeting in Columbus, OH (1986). Our vision, to be the Premier Center of Sleep Medicine Excellence, is carried out in every detail of our clinic operations. We go above and beyond national accreditation standards to provide the highest quality in sleep medicine care. From an in depth initial consultation to a thorough sleep evaluation, patients are cared for in the most professional manner. We make every effort to identify the cause (or causes) of our patients’ underlying sleep problems, without unnecessary testing. Our ultimate goal is to achieve the most optimal treatment plan with the highest possible patient satisfaction. Our core philosophy rests on the principle that each patient’s sleep and health history is unique and, therefore, cannot, and should not, be approached with a “one size fits all” or “cookie cutter” approach. In addition to advocating the best patient care through comprehensive evaluation and treatment of all sleep disorders, the Ohio Sleep Medicine Institute is also devoted to continuing medical education (CME) through conferences and workshops designed to educate health professionals on the latest research and techniques in the field of sleep medicine.

Timing may be everything for patients with narcolepsy taking Modafinil. Per a study published in PLOS Computational Biology, a mathematical model shows that taking a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, such as modafinil, a few hours prior to the body’s own natural rise in dopamine can extend the effect of the medication. Chronotherapeutics (optimizing medication efficacy with respect to circadian timing) may provide valuable insights related to drug dosage and timing and help facilitate the most effective treatment plan for patients with narcolepsy, Parkinson’s disease, ADHD, depression or even addiction.

Timing is everything. Low intensity physical activity in the early evening 10-15 hours after waking up appears to have the most important impact on improving sleep efficiency per a preliminary study released in Nature Scientific Reports. The study was conducted using machine learning analysis based on a large sleep dataset. With new year resolutions in mind, gentle exercise and sleep should be on everyone’s list.

Besides smoking, insufficient sleep may be the most important factor for shorter life expectancy, according to a new study published in SLEEP Advances. Researchers conducted a statistical analysis across all states and found that sleeping less than 7 hours a night shortened life span more than diet, level of exercise or loneliness.

These results highlight the importance of considering sleep not just as essential for short term well-being, but also for long term longevity with sleep as a core element in cardiovascular, brain, and immune function.

A new nationwide analysis shows that getting fewer than seven hours of sleep a night is one of the strongest predictors of shorter life expectancy across U.S. counties.

Individuals with chronic insomnia may suffer from circadian rhythm abnormalities due to disruptions in their daily rhythm of mental activity. Per a recent study, their peak mental activity may occur up to 6 hours later than healthy sleepers. As their brain stays alert and awake later in the day in a more cognitive engaged state, they have trouble downshifting or disengaging and fail to properly power down at night.

Chronic insomnia treatments try to focus mainly on behavioral strategies. Future tailored options focusing on circadian and cognitive factors such as strengthening circadian rhythms with timed light exposure, structured daytime routines and mindfulness may prove beneficial in retraining the brain to receive the appropriate signals to quiet down.

A new study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association suggests the circadian system may impact blood vessel function at night, resulting in increased risks for heart attack in individuals with obstructive sleep apnea.

BackgroundIn people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), adverse cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction, occur more commonly in the middle of the night than at other times of the day. ...
