Premier Sleep Solutions in St. George Now Offering Free Sleep Consultations

Issue 46.13

If you have difficulty sleeping at night, you’re not alone.  Some 70 million Americans suffer from sleep disorders every night, and most of those go through life undiagnosed.  In an effort to help people suffering from this problem, Medicare-approved Premier Sleep Solutions in St. George is now offering free sleep consultations to the public.

To make an appointment for a free consultation, call Premier Sleep Solutions at (435)319-4740 or visit www.premiersleepsolutions.com.  Premier Sleep Solutions is located at 75 S. 100 E. Suite 1E in St. George.  The company also has an office in Salt Lake City.

Medical experts say that even though one out of every four people regularly fails to get a good night’s sleep, most don’t even realize they have a sleep disorder—and as a result, they may be putting themselves in a life-threatening situation.

Dr. Shad Morris, a sleep expert at Premier Sleep Solutions in St. George and a member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, said, “If you have trouble sleeping at night, it could be more than just an inconvenience.  In fact, you could be suffering from a serious medical condition called sleep apnea.  Sleep apnea has been linked to heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and even depression.  What’s more, sleep apnea causes 38,000 deaths each year, and it’s been estimated that 200,000 auto accidents each year are sleep related.”

Morris, who has been treating sleep patients since 2006, added that anyone suffering from snoring, headaches, memory loss, daytime fatigue, reduced attention, poor concentration or driving drowsy should seek immediate treatment.  If, after the initial consultation, it’s determined that a patient needs additional treatment, Premier Sleep Solutions can provide treatments and even conduct a home sleep test if necessary.  Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machines and other oral appliances are among the most common devices used to treat many sleep disorders.  Morris said that most medical insurance providers cover sleep-related treatments and tests conducted at Premier Sleep Solutions.

 “If individuals have been treated for sleep problems in the past, but are still having difficulties, we might be able to help.  Recent advancements in the field could provide new treatments that weren’t available just a few years ago,” Morris noted.
