An estimated 70 million Americans suffer from some form of sleep disorder. Medical research clearly links sleep problems to a number of serious health and social problems, including heart attack, stroke and diabetes, as well as increased risk of developing anxiety and depressive disorders. 

Many sufferers are completely unaware that problems like insomnia can be treated or that there are serious health risks associated with sleep disorders. Even worse, many who are aware of problems never choose to seek help. 

The Boulder Community Sleep Disorders Center is one of the most comprehensive treatment centers in Colorado.  We are one of the few centers to offer both evaluation by specially trained physicians and a sleep laboratory where patients can undergo a wide range of tests in one convenient location. As part of our comprehensive plan, we continue to monitor the progress of every patient after they receive treatment.

To learn more about treatment options for sleep disorders, call 303-938-5354.

We offer the only program in Boulder County fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), a professional medical association dedicated to assuring quality care for patients.
