Sleep medicine is a medical specialty that diagnoses and treats sleep and breathing problems. A sleep medicine doctor looks at why you snore, wake up tired, can’t fall asleep, or feel sleepy during the day. Then they order the right tests and build a treatment plan that fits your life.
Poor sleep is not just about feeling tired. Conditions such as untreated sleep apnea are linked to high blood pressure and heart disease, while disrupted sleep can affect mood and concentration. Obstructive sleep apnea affects as many as 30 million U.S. adults, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
Many sleep problems involve your breathing. That is why PACT Sleep Medicine works within PACT Pulmonology, our lung and breathing care team. If your sleep problem is tied to asthma, COPD, or another lung condition, your care stays coordinated in one network.
See a sleep doctor if poor sleep has lasted more than a few weeks or is affecting your daily life. Common signs include loud snoring, gasping during sleep, waking up tired, and struggling to stay awake during the day.
Watch for these in yourself or your child:
If you’ve been told for years that you’re “just tired” or “just stressed,” your symptoms still deserve a real answer. A sleep evaluation can help find one.
Sleep apnea causes your breathing to stop and start during sleep. It often shows up as loud snoring and daytime tiredness. We diagnose it with sleep testing and help you manage it with treatments like CPAP.
Learn MoreChronic insomnia affects about 10% of adults. It means trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking too early for months at a time. We look at the causes and discuss treatment options recommended by guidelines.
Learn MoreNarcolepsy is a brain condition that causes strong daytime sleepiness and sudden sleep episodes. It often goes undiagnosed for years. Testing includes an overnight sleep study and a daytime nap test.
Learn MorePolysomnography is an overnight in-lab sleep study that tracks your breathing, brain waves, heart rate, and oxygen while you sleep. It is the standard test for diagnosing sleep disorders. Your PACT sleep physician orders and reviews your study.
Learn MoreA home sleep apnea test uses a simple device you wear in your own bed. It is an option for many adults who likely have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea and no complicating health conditions. Your physician will tell you if it is right for you.
Learn MoreCPAP stands for continuous positive airway pressure. A small machine sends gentle air through a mask to keep your airway open while you sleep. Your physician helps you get started and follows up early to make sure therapy works for you.
Learn MoreYou don’t need to know your diagnosis before you call. Many patients come to us with one simple concern, like snoring or never feeling rested. Your sleep physician will ask about your symptoms, your sleep habits, and your health history. Then they will recommend the next step.

Dr. Ravali Reddy Inja trained in pediatrics before her sleep medicine fellowship, and she is board-certified in pediatrics. That background means she understands how sleep affects a child’s growth, learning, and mood. Families can bring infants, children, and teens to the same practice that treats adults.
Home sleep apnea tests are not recommended for children. Instead, children undergo an overnight in-lab sleep study, which gives a more complete picture of their breathing and sleep patterns.
For otherwise healthy children whose obstructive sleep apnea is caused by enlarged tonsils and adenoids, surgical removal is usually the first treatment recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. PACT does not perform this surgery. If surgery is recommended, your PACT sleep physician may coordinate a referral to an ENT surgeon and continue to follow your child’s sleep care.
