[Kristiina Šmigun]In PINTMANN SLEEP CARE CENTRE™ we conduct sleep diagnostics, evaluate and improve the quality of sleep and offer treatment for health disorders which accompany sleep disorders and stress.

We make sure whether you snore and whether your snoring causes lack of oxygen and sleep apnea (difficulty of breathing during sleep) and whether sleeping disorders and stress cause cardiac disorders, high blood pressure, throat complaints, balance disorders and/or adiposity.

Medical services and necessary procedures are performed by general practitioner, otorhinolaryngologist, cardiologist, nurses and masseuses/masseurs. Treatment of sleep disorders and the accompanying illnesses take place in cooperation with Tartu University Clinic, Dept. of Otorhinolaryngology.

A good night’s sleep restores energy
A good night’s sleep is the basis of good health.
1. Sleeping time is a recovery period for our body.
2. The quality of sleep depends on sleep structure.
3. Sleep structure can be assessed objectively. It is possible to measure the duration of sleep phases and evaluate the relation between good quality sleep and bad quality sleep.
4. Depending on reason(s), sleeping disorders and the resulting health disorders can be relieved and treated.

Sleeping disorders result in excessive daytime sleepiness and decreased productivity. Several health disorders can be sleep-related, for example snoring, sleep apnea, hypertension, heart disorders, metabolic disorders, overweight and depression. The most complicated of above mentioned is sleep apnea: a cessation of airflow. A person experiences a shortness of breath causing hypoxia, he tosses and turns, his sleep is unsettled and incomplete. Due to the lack of good quality sleep one cannot rest properly. A sleepy person is usually bad-tempered and irascible.

Not only adults but children also suffer from sleep disorders.

[Uneuuring]The quality of sleep can be assessed in Pintmann Sleep Care Centre. During the process brain biorhythms, breathing rhythm, snoring episodes, hearth rhythm, blood oxygen level, eye and muscle movements are recorded while the patient is sleeping.

Polysomnographys (ResMed ja ViaSys-yhtiön) and diagnostic constant positive pressure device (ResMed AutoSet® SpiritTM) are used for sleep diagnostics in Pintmann Sleep Care Centre. Based on the test results the further treatment is planned.
