Central sleep apnea (CSA) is a disorder in which breathing stops and starts repeatedly during sleep. In some cases, breathing is very shallow. Central sleep apnea occurs because the brain doesn't send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing.

Untreated sleep disorders lead to excessive daytime sleepiness, causing harm to you or others. At the Sleep Disorders Center, we manage sleep disorders that may affect daytime sleepiness.
Hashimoto's thyroiditis, also called Hashimoto's disease, chronic autoimmune thyroiditis, or chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, is an autoimmune disease. The disorder causes the body's immune system to produce antibodies that attack thyroid tissue and eventually destroy the thyroid gland, leading to hypothyroidism, or the underproduction of thyroid hormone.
Primary hyperparathyroidism is when both the parathyroid hormone level and the calcium level are above normal. Two other types of hyperparathyroidism are secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism. Tertiary hyperparathyroidism is generally seen in patients after a kidney transplant.
Hyperthyroidism occurs when the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone. This disorder occurs in about 1% of all Americans and affects women much more often than men. In its mildest form, hyperthyroidism may not cause noticeable symptoms; however, in some patients, excess thyroid hormone and the resulting effects on the body can have significant consequences.
Narcolepsy is among the leading neurological causes of excessive daytime sleepiness, but many with this chronic sleep disorder are never diagnosed. U-M's Sleep Disorders Clinic can help
A sleep apnea oral appliance is a non-surgical treatment for obstructive sleep apnea. It is suitable for patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea who have attempted CPAP without improvement or who could not tolerate using CPAP and do not want to pursue a surgical approach.
At the Sleep Disorders Center, our multidisciplinary team can help to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea and offers an effective treatment plan adapted to your particular needs.

Periodic leg movements are repetitive, involuntary movements of the limbs while a person is asleep.
Primary hyperparathyroidism is a condition that causes elevated calcium levels (hypercalcemia) in the bloodstream, due to the parathyroid glands secreting too much parathyroid hormone (PTH).
Restless Leg Syndrome ranges from irritating to debilitating. Let the experts at the University of Michigan help you control your RLS or Periodic Leg Movements.
| At the Head and Neck Surgery Division of the University of Michigan Health System, our skilled surgeons have significant understanding of diseases affecting the salivary glands, and our high volume of salivary gland procedures means proven results in the operating room. |
