Everyone deserves a great night\u2019s sleep. Sleep is essential for your wellbeing. Think of it like a computer that needs to be shut down or rebooted. When you\u2019re not sleeping well, your body is put in the balance and may leave you exhausted at work, school or other places. Staying alert and being in the best health possible involves getting your beauty sleep. There are those out there who have trouble sleeping because of a well-known disease that has spread throughout the country amongst many adults — sleep apnea. It\u2019s not the same as insomnia, so let\u2019s squash that right off the bat.

Dr. Virginia Gregory and her staff are prepared to provide you with a full night\u2019s sleep that will keep you well rested for years to come.

To put it in basic terms, it occurs when a patient\u2019s breathing has subsided for roughly 10-20 seconds. This isn\u2019t good. Any cessation of breathing can cause major problems and even become fatal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
