The Winchester Sleep Center’s most frequent complaint of those who seek help is excessive daytime sleepiness. Adequate sleep is an essential part of good physical and emotional health. EDS may cause daily activities to be less enjoyable, unproductive and unsafe. Sleep disorders account for about 200,000 automobile accidents each year and approximately 50 percent of work-related accidents.
