A good night’s sleep is not a luxury; it is a necessity for your physical and mental health. Yet many people—an estimated one in three Americans—have a sleep disorder that affects their ability to fall asleep, stay asleep or enter deep sleep.

Sleep doctors at Essentia Health St. Joseph's–Brainerd Clinic help people identify and overcome sleep disorders, from sleep apnea to restless leg syndrome. Many patients do not even realize how being tired affects their daily lives until they experience what it is like to feel fully rested.

If you snore, feel excessively sleepy throughout the day, have trouble falling asleep or are told you stop breathing while you sleep, you may be a candidate for a sleep study or sleep medicine consultation.

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) has recognized the Essentia Health Sleep Center in Brainerd as an Accredited Sleep Disorders Center.
