Topic Info
Sleep is essential for normal, healthy function. But lack of sleep, disturbed sleep or even excessive sleep puts you at risk for accidents—both at work and on the road—and increases the likelihood of weight gain, heart problems, depression and other major health complications. In most cases, sleep disorders can be easily managed once they are properly diagnosed. Boyace Harlan, manager of the Lake Charles Memorial Hospital Sleep Health Center, will discuss common sleep disorders and diagnostic tests.
