Sleep Medicine

Is it a myth or or is it a fact?

When we were children, we hated naptime because it took away from playtime. Now that we’re adults, it’s great to be able to sneak away and doze for a half-hour. But are naps good for you?

You exercise, you’ve cut out alcohol and caffeine before bed, and you’ve learned to relax at night, but you’re still having trouble falling asleep. What’s keeping you awake? As it turns out, your diet could be to blame. Fortunately, there are a number of foods and beverages that can help you sleep.

Snoring is often thought of as a condition adults have to deal with, but did you know that children can snore, too? While that may seem cute, childhood snoring could actually cause health problems and should be treated.

CEENTA ENT doctor Mark Abrams, MD, discussed snoring on WSOC's Daily Two on October 18, 2017.

At the end of a long, hard day at work or school, all you want is a restful night of sleep and to feel alert during the day. But for some people, this can be difficult. You may be snoring at night, which disrupts your sleep and your partner’s sleep. If that’s the case, you may have obstructive sleep apnea.
