Sleep is important for renewing our mental and physical health each day, but more than 100 million Americans don't get a good night's sleep.

Linda couldn't hear herself snore, but she would find out about it the next day. "I had different family members from other rooms hear me at night time so I got a lot of teasing about it."

Linda's doctor arranged for her to undergo a sleep study, which requires an overnight stay here at the sleep lab. At first Linda was very reluctant. " I thought, I'm going to go there, I'm not going to sleep, I'll be up all night long. Well, right off the bat, you know, they made me feel so comfortable. I got in the bed and the next thing I knew it was morning."

Sleep lab Manager Rob Galbreath says that "Here at the sleep lab we try and make the patients as comfortable as possible. If they have any requests, snacks, we do have some light snacks that we can provide. We just want to try and make it as comfortable as possible for the patient."

Linda was diagnosed with sleep apnea - meaning she occasionally stops breathing in her sleep - and now that she is able to treat her condition using a c-pap, she's finally getting the sleep she's always wanted. "Come in here and get it done, just like I did, I don't regret it at all. It's like anything else, don't put off something that's going to make you feel great."

Take Linda's advice, if you experience problems sleeping or have been told you snore get checked. Undiagnosed sleep apnea like Linda's could lead to high blood pressure, heart attack or stroke.

There are more than 100 different sleep disorders. The inability to fall or stay asleep - or insomnia - is the most common, affecting 25% of the population.
