Dr. K. Marya Chaisson, Director of The Sleep Wellness Center at Griffin Hospital, will present “Get a Better Night’s Sleep”
to give attendees more insight into the causes of sleep problems and
ways to get a good night's sleep as well as answer questions about
stopping snoring and sleep apnea.
Chaisson is board certified in
sleep medicine, internal medicine, critical care, and pulmonary disease,
giving her a broad scope of expertise.
Most people who suffer from snoring and
sleep apnea are unaware of the consequences of how it affects their
daytime and nighttime functions.
A person with sleep apnea finds it hard
to breathe during sleep due to a partial or complete collapse of their
breathing passage. The airway collapse is usually identified by a family
member complaining of loud snoring.
Untreated, sleep apnea can lead to
potentially life threatening diseases such as a cardiac disease, stroke,
and diabetes.
The Sleep Wellness Center at Griffin
Hospital offers state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment of sleep
disorders in a comfortable, hotel room-like setting.
Conditions such as
sleep apnea, insomnia, restless legs, and narcolepsy can be effectively
identified and treated to improve one's health.
The presentation is part of Griffin
Hospital's Healthy U “Tuesday Talks,” a series of free wellness talks
featuring Griffin Hospital medical experts and community partners
providing trusted health information and answers to questions on a wide
range of topics.
All Tuesday Talks are held in Griffin
Hospital’s Meditation and Learning Center, 130 Division St. Light refreshments will be served.
