Sleep Medicine
Specialty Services
Did you know? Lack of sleep disrupts normal brain and body function, causing a decrease in metabolic rate and endocrine functions.
Importance of Sleep
Sleep disorders and disruption are common and significant contributors to health risks.
A great deal of science supports the importance of sleep and its role in disease prevention. There isn’t a tissue, system or operation in the body—from the brain, heart and lungs to metabolism, immune function and mood—that isn’t enhanced by sleep.
The addition of Sleep Medicine to our Cooper Clinic preventive medicine services mirrors our purpose—improving the quality and quantity of life. The ability to diagnose sleep disorders and develop treatment plans for our patients early on helps set the stage for healthier outcomes.
