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.

Too much salt is not good for health, but this is especially crucial for women as they get older. A new study reveals that high salt intake increases the risk of developing sleep apnea starting already during perimenopause. The risk significantly worsens for late-perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. More research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms at play.

Per one of the study’s authors, reduced upper airway muscle tone and respiratory control due to decreased hormones combined with fluid retention from salt intake may lead to more airway collapsibility. This discovery provides an additional and interesting perspective on cardiovascular and metabolic disease prevention. https://bit.ly/3M1lMoj

Have you been “sleepmaxxing” lately? According to a new study released by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, a new trend is emerging with 56% of men and 40% of women in the US using sleep trackers, products, or routines to maximize their sleep. If you do, just remember not to lose sleep over it!

New research just published in Science Translational Medicine and conducted by Dr. Markus Schmidt's team at the University of Bern, Switzerland shows that skin temperature impacts REM sleep and cataplexy expression in narcolepsy. Cataplexy is the sudden loss of muscle tone triggered by emotion and is one of the most debilitating symptoms of narcolepsy. They found that reductions in skin temperature anticipate the onset of cataplexy in both patients and narcoleptic mice.
They went on to show that manipulating skin temperature has a causal effect. Subtle warming of the skin temperature increases REM sleep whereas its cooling increases the risk for cataplexy. Finally, they discovered how the brain responds to skin temperature changes. This work identifies new avenues to diagnose and manage narcolepsy. https://bit.ly/3Mfb8dv

Per a study published in JAMA Network Open, middle aged and older individuals at high risk for Obstructive Sleep Apnea are 40% more likely to present mental health conditions. They are also 44% more subject to developing new psychiatric disorders over time. The study was conducted among 30,000 individuals in Canada. Researchers suspect that low levels of blood oxygen during apnea events, sleep fragmentation, and inflammation may be contributing to the disease connection.

Weaker or irregular circadian rhythms may be an early warning for dementia per a study published in Neurology. A weak internal clock may make the body more sensitive to disruptions and could be a risk for a neurodegenerative process. Individuals whose daily activity level peaked later in the day are 45% more at risk for dementia than those who peaked earlier in the day.

3 WAYS TO SLEEP BETTER IN THE DARK OF WINTER

Keep a consistent sleep schedule. Go to bed and get up at the same time every day and avoid shifting the schedule on weekends.

Expose your eyes to early morning daylight to allow your body clock to create a consistent circadian rhythm. This will help regulate hormone release, digestion, and body temperature, as well as establish consistent patterns of sleep and activity.

Avoid bright light exposure in the evening, especially blue light emitted from electronic devices, which can reset your internal clock to a later sleep onset and disrupt subsequent sleep.

What if you could predict your risk for specific diseases based on a single night of sleep? Researchers at Stanford University have successfully tackled the challenge using an artificial intelligence model and developed a system called SleepFM. Using data from body signals recorded in 65,000 patients with a previous in-laboratory sleep study, the model was able to identify a person’s risk, with 80% or above accuracy, to later develop Alzheimer’s Disease (91%), Parkinson’s Disease (89%), prostate cancer (89%), breast cancer (87%), dementia (88%), hypertensive heart disease (84%), stroke (81%), myocardial infarction (81%), and heart failure (80%). This new AI model may prove to be a valuable tool, along with existing assessment tools, to help identify early signs of diseases.

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.
