Sleep Center

A good night’s sleep is vital to maintaining good health.  In fact, sleep deprivation can lead to serious health issues. If you are experiencing sleep problems, your doctor may suggest you visit the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center for Sleep Studies.

The Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center for Sleep Studies is a partnership between Androscoggin Valley Hospital and the Dartmouth Sleep Disorders Center (DSDC). This state-of-the-art facility offers evaluation and treatment of the full range of sleep disorders, including insomnia, sleep apnea, snoring, narcolepsy, restless leg syndrome and more.
