March is National Sleep Awareness Month, which is a great reminder that when you prioritize your sleep, you prioritize your health and well-being.
At Memorial Hermann, we understand that not sleeping well can be emotionally and physically draining. Sleep deprivation can affect your personal relationships, work and overall health. If you feel like your sleep habits are negatively impacting your daily life, it’s time to talk to your health care provider about your options.
With over 10 nationally accredited Sleep Disorder Centers, we can help identify if you have a sleep disorder. The results from a sleep study can help your health care provider diagnose your condition and recommend a plan of treatment for more restful sleep.
Take the sleep assessment to help identify potential sleep problems.
