Dr. Saltis Addresses Sleep Disorders During Summa Health System's “Sleep Week”

recently hosted a sleep disorder seminar entitled “Understanding and Treating Sleep Disorders”.

The free, public event was part of Summa Health System’s “Sleep Week” events to raise awareness about common sleep disorders, their effects, and treatment practices to remedy them.

The event featured special guest speaker, Dr. Lawrence Saltis, Medical Director and Neurologist of the Summa Western Reserve Hospital Sleep Medicine Center.

Dr. Saltis discussed sleep structure and how the body is impacted by sleep and a lack thereof.

Disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome (RLS) and common deviations from sleep patterns were discussed as well as treatment methods currently used to aid sleep disorders.

Guests were provided with a free lunch at the hospital, a free sleep kit gift, and enjoyed a raffle drawing featuring a “Sleep Well” basket.
