Thank you for visiting the Winchester Sleep Center's web site. Our goal is to provide you with a powerful resource and help you acquire knowledge about the vast field of sleep medicine.
The Winchester Sleep Center offers the latest technology coupled with specially trained physicians and technicians who detect and treat sleep disorders. Patients are referred to the sleep center by physicians or through self-referral. When you come to the center, the sleep physician will conduct a physical exam and history evaluation. The evaluation may be the key to discovering the cause of the sleep problem.
As we begin the new century we find ourselves in a 24 hour culture that is sleep-deprived and lacking even the most basic understanding of how sleep affects our daily lives. It is disappointing to note that fewer than 5% of people with sleep disorders are diagnosed and treated. Our vision is to increase that to 50%. Our belief is that the only way to reach those millions who are suffering in silence is through massive education of the general public about the importance of sleep disorders and fatigue management. This must be accompanied by simple and cost-effective ways to diagnose and treat a wide range of sleep disorders. Winchester Sleep Center is working diligently to achieve both objectives.
Caffeine, often called “world’s most popular drug,” is a normal part of many of our daily lives. It is found in the three most popular drinks in the world—coffee, tea and cola—and in other soft drinks, chocolate, and some medications. Scientists say caffeine is not harmful in moderation—up to 250mg a day—as long as it is not consumed close to bed time (within 4-6 hours), which can disrupt sleep.
