Now, veterans of all ages will be able to be diagnosed and treated for various sleep issues like obstructive sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, central sleep apnea syndromes, narcolepsy, as well as sleep problems associated with traumatic brain injury.

The new Sleep Center will be armed with a four-bed, state-of-the-art sleep laboratory that will provide advanced diagnostic sleep studies and therapies such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).

Harrison’s Sleep Disorder Center expanded and renovated by providing adding more capacity and adding new equipment to accommodate and resolve patient issues suffering from sleep disorders. The new look offers a more appealing setup, close to a hotel-like atmosphere, and was completed last September.

Some people just cannot sit well without seeing their mobile phone beside them since anyone at any time may be texting them or perhaps on the other way around, sending messages at any moment they feel like by pushing the keypads of their phone.

Normally, we would find ourselves falling asleep and sleeping alongside our phones. But while we all know that we will fall asleep, is it indeed possible to send messages unknowingly to another person while we are in our slumber state?

But some sleep experts have another explanation for the sleep text messaging, particularly in those situations in which the text message is coherent. Some say the messages are written while the patient is awake, but they have amnesia for the event. “The `sleep texter’ may have actually been awake, but had not formed new memories for the event,” says Scott Fromherz, medical director of Westside Sleep Center in Tigard, Ore.

“There is a `built-in’ amnesia of sleep that occurs when the brain is briefly awakened for less than three minutes,” he says.

Thus, a person might wake up in the middle of the night, text someone, go back to sleep and have no recollection of the activity the next morning.
