Additionally, the sleep program also utilizes multiple RPSGTs as sleep coordinators for tracking adherence to positive airway pressure therapy and sleep education. In order to enhance care of sleep apnea, the sleep medicine program collaborates with University of Utah dentists for the provision of mandibular advancement devices and with ENT surgeons for alternative methods for addressing sleep apnea. An insomnia behavioral therapy program is available through AASM-certified psychologists who also offer therapies for circadian disorders and PTSD-associated nightmares. Interactions with neurology allow for enhanced care of disorders such as restless legs syndrome and other sleep-related movement disorders.
