Welcome to Downey Sleep Associates.
We all want a peaceful place to sleep. But sleep disorders can break that peace, disturbing your sleep and the sleep of others. It may stress life with your spouse, family, or roommates. And it may be a sign that you have a more serious condition.

A sleep center is a place to finally determine what is happening when you sleep. Are your snoring or have you ever caught yourself "snorting"? This may be a sign that you stop breathing at times during the night. Snoring and sleep apnea rarely go away on their own, but they can be treated. Treatment may include changes you can make, a medical device you can use, or surgery. In either case, finding out exactly how you sleep can offer be the first step to treating the problem.

In a sleep clinic, you spend a night in a private room inside a sleep center. Sensors check your heart, lungs, brain, muscle movements, air flow from your nose and mouth, and your blood's oxygen level. You are videotaped, and any snoring, talking, or other noises you make while asleep are recorded. A technician watches you on monitors all night and makes sure all the equipment is working.
