Sleep News: Tyler Center Earns Five-Year Accreditations
Sleep is essential to your physical and mental well being. It is a restorative process that allows you to be healthy and productive. Adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep a night, yet millions suffer from sleep disorders that deprive them of necessary rest. These disorders are more than an annoyance. They may pose significant medical problems such as strain on the heart and lungs that lead to high blood pressure, heart attack or stroke.
If you are being robbed of sleep, the Sleep Disorders Center at East Texas Medical Center Neurological Institute can help.
We are a part of the ETMC Neurological Institute. Through evaluation and treatment we help you when you have difficulty falling asleep at night or when you have trouble maintaining sleep or have difficulty staying awake during the day.
The ETMC Neurological Institute Sleep Disorders Clinic became the first sleep center in East Texas to receive program accreditation from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine in 2004.
The center's medical director is Raymond C. Perkins, MD, who is board certified in sleep medicine.
