sleep

I wanted to update all my patients, possible future patients and colleagues that I will officially be reading sleep studies with Delaware Sleep Disorder Center (Del Sleep) located at the Beebe Health Campus in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.

I was asked by a patient why they twitch at night as they are falling asleep.  I assured them that they are not alone as this often happens to many of us during the initiation of sleep.  The falling sensation or twitch is known as a hypnagogic myoclonic twitch. It is a benign occurrence.
