Sleep Aware
As we learn more about the far reaching implications that poor sleep quality has on a patient’s overall health, physicians are asking more questions about patients’ sleep quality. Patients and their loved ones are learning about sleep disorders and paying closer attention to symptoms such as snoring and excessive sleepiness.

The National Sleep Foundation reports that over 60% of adults have trouble sleeping several nights a week. If that statistic sounds staggering to you – consider this: 95% of people living with a sleep disorder remain undiagnosed. Become part of the 5%.
If you have concerns about whether you or a loved one may be living with a sleep disorder, find out the answers now. Correcting someone’s sleep problem now can reduce the incidence of more serious, harder-to-fix problems in the future as untreated sleep problems reduce the quality of life and shorten life expectancy.

Take a few minutes to take our
SleepAware risk assessment. The answers to this survey will help determine if you suffer from symptoms associated with a sleep disorder. A representative from Trinity will be happy to discuss the next steps in the treatment process, including sleep tests and assistive devices.
Sleep Studies
If you are at risk for a sleep disorder, the first step in diagnosing a sleep disorder is to perform a sleep study. Some studies require an overnight stay in the hospital, while other patients may be approved to have a sleep study at home. Home studies can provide the added benefit of capturing data over multiple nights of sleep.
In both studies, patients usually wear a breathing mask and are connected to electrical devices that measure several factors including:
- Blood oxygen saturation
- Respiration rates
- Snoring level
- Heath movement
- Head position
