Of the nearly 70 million Americans who are problem sleepers, about half have a chronic disorder that keeps them from getting the restorative sleep they need and many have no idea.

If you sleep poorly, snore, have morning headaches or are fatigued or excessively sleepy during the day, you could have a sleep disorder. And while that can leave you tired and irritable, there are other consequences. Strained relationships. Poor performance at work or school. Mood problems. Serious health issues like high blood pressure and heart disease. Even injury or death.

At Midwest Chest Consultants in St. Charles, Missouri, we know that sleeping well may be the best way to improve your quality of life. With experienced sleep physicians, the area’s only AASM-accredited sleep center and personnel dedicated to sleep medicine, we’re able to delve into the science of your sleep difficulty.

In other words, we have the skill, technology and experience to get to the bottom of your sleep problem and help you get truly restful slumber. You know, the kind you’ve been dreaming of.

Once we know why you’re having trouble, our experienced sleep physicians will help resolve it. If it turns out you have sleep apnea, a breathing-related disorder, we can provide treatment (a CPAP device) customized for your needs. (And we usually are able to do this without making you return for a second study, as is typical at other sleep labs!) We also manage other sleep disorders with medications, lifestyle changes and medical management or treatment of underlying or related disorders.
