The value of effectively treating sleep disorders has been scientifically proven. A rapidly growing body of scientific literature has shown how successful treatment can dramatically impact health and quality of life. Serious chronic diseases can often be reversed, resulting in lowered expenses for the health care system as a whole.

As the practice of sleep medicine has developed, many disciplines of medicine have contributed and participated in its growth. Most physicians practicing sleep medicine have background in Pulmonary, Otolaryngology or Neurology. The American Board of Sleep Medicine certifies physicians in Sleep Medicine, after they fulfill specialty-training requirements in Sleep Medicine and demonstrate the knowledge and technical expertise by passing a rigorous board exam.

The growth of the field over the past decade has been driven by increased awareness of the association between sleep disorders and chronic diseases such as Hypertension, Heart Disease, Excessive Weight Gain, and Type II Diabetes. Sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, are now recognized as inflammatory diseases, contributing to deteriorating health, the risk for motor vehicle accidents, and even resulting in death.
