Sleep apnea is one of the many sleep disorders treated at the Baptist Sleep Disorders Center whose two Memphis metro area locations are at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Collierville and Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto in Southaven.
Baptist said more than 5,000 sleep studies are performed annually across its network.
Other sleep disorders treated include chronic insomnia, sleepwalking, night terrors, bruxism, restless-leg syndrome and narcolepsy as well as sleep issues secondary to other disorders like depression and chronic pain.
