Most people with sleep disorders don’t even know they have one. They are tired all day, fall asleep in their chairs or movies or they snore heavily. The idea that there is healthy sleep and unhealthy sleep has been slowly making its way into mainstream America since 1980. Sleep apnea causes people to stop breathing while asleep and restless leg syndrome is characterized by an urge to move one’s body, most commonly the legs, to stop uncomfortable sensations like burning, itching or tickling in the muscles. Insomnia is also a common sleep disorder and all three of these conditions as well as 85 others can have serious health consequences and can be helped by having an evaluation with Dr. Grauke.

In addition to his family practice Dr. Grauke is Board Certified in Sleep Medicine and is director of the Gritman Sleep Center. You can make an appointment for an initial sleep consult at our Moscow Medical office at 882-7565 and may be referred to the Gritman Sleep Center for testing.
