UNMHSC Program in Sleep Medicine
Sleep Disorders Center
The Experts in Sleep Medicine

Populations Served

The UNMHSC Program in Sleep Medicine provides complete and comprehensive services related to all sleep disorders.

Pediatrics: We have the only in-patient pediatric sleep laboratory in the state of New Mexico, and care for infants and children of all ages and with all types of medical problems.  We have a pediatric neurologist and a pediatric pulmonologist on staff, board-certified and trained in sleep medicine, to provide specialized care for youngsters.

Adults: We treat patients with disorders relating to snoring and sleep apnea, restless legs, shift work, insomnia, night terrors, poor sleep hygiene and many other sleep/wake disorders.

Seniors: We care for patients with sleep disorders related to aging, including insomnia, sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, abnormal behaviors during sleep (including REM behavior disorder), and sleep/wake problems due to medications, dementia, heart failure, chronic pain, kidney disease and other medical conditions.

Women: Women often first develop insomnia after they have children or during menopause.  Family responsibilities, worry, stress, medical conditions, medications, sleep apnea, restless legs and post-traumatic stress disorder all can impair a woman's ability to get the restful night's sleep she needs to function.  We are expert in analyzing these problems and providing solutions.
