Sleep Disorders

Overview

Excessive daytime sleepiness, difficulty sleeping, and abnormal sleep behaviors are common problems that can have large impacts on a person's overall health, safety and quality of life. With accurate diagnosis, however, most sleep disorders can be effectively treated.

All three Mayo Clinic locations operate sleep centers, each fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and staffed by physicians certified by the American Board of Sleep Medicine.

In addition, the Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Medicine, which established one of the first fellowship programs specializing in sleep, operates one of the largest sleep-focused facilities in the United States.

Patients treated at Mayo Clinic for sleep disorders receive state-of-the-art care, and benefit from the combined expertise of top specialists working together across fields as varied as Psychiatry and Psychology, Neurology, Pulmonary Medicine, Otorhinolaryngology, Orthodontics, and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
