Sleep Medicine Care at The Medical Group of New Jersey
Comprehensive Evaluation and Treatment for Sleep Disorders
Overview
Insomnia is one of the most common sleep disorders, affecting millions of adults each year. While nearly everyone experiences occasional sleepless nights, chronic insomnia occurs when difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or returning to sleep after awakening becomes a persistent problem that interferes with daytime functioning and overall well-being.
Poor sleep affects much more than energy levels. Chronic insomnia has been associated with difficulty concentrating, memory problems, irritability, anxiety, depression, decreased work performance, and reduced quality of life. Over time, inadequate sleep may also contribute to hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
At The Medical Group of New Jersey, our sleep medicine specialists identify the underlying causes of insomnia and develop personalized treatment plans designed to improve sleep quality, restore healthy sleep patterns, and help patients achieve long-term relief without unnecessary dependence on sleep medications.

Top Conditions We Treat
At The Medical Group of New Jersey, our sleep specialists diagnose and manage a wide range of sleep disorders affecting adults and adolescents. Explore some of the most common conditions below. Each links to a detailed Clinical Patient Journey page describing symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management.
OSA occurs when the airway repeatedly collapses during sleep, causing snoring, pauses in breathing, poor sleep quality, and daytime fatigue. We provide comprehensive evaluation through home and laboratory sleep studies, followed by personalized treatment with CPAP therapy, oral appliances, weight management, or surgical referral when appropriate.
Insomnia causes difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or returning to sleep after awakening. Our specialists identify underlying causes and develop individualized treatment plans that may include cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), sleep hygiene interventions, medication management, and treatment of contributing medical conditions.
Unlike obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea occurs when the brain intermittently fails to send appropriate breathing signals during sleep. Treatment may include specialized PAP therapies, management of heart failure or neurologic conditions, and ongoing sleep monitoring.
Restless legs syndrome causes uncomfortable sensations in the legs accompanied by an irresistible urge to move them, particularly in the evening or during periods of rest. Our specialists evaluate iron levels, medication effects, and neurologic factors while providing targeted treatments to improve sleep quality.
Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD)
PLMD involves repetitive leg movements during sleep that may fragment sleep and contribute to daytime fatigue. Diagnosis often requires overnight sleep testing, and treatment focuses on reducing sleep disruption and improving restorative sleep.
Narcolepsy is a neurologic disorder characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, sudden sleep attacks, and sometimes cataplexy (sudden muscle weakness triggered by emotions). We utilize specialized sleep testing and advanced therapies to help patients remain alert and function safely throughout the day.
Circadian Rhythm Sleep-Wake Disorders
These disorders occur when the body’s internal clock becomes misaligned with desired sleep schedules. Examples include shift work disorder, delayed sleep phase syndrome, and jet lag disorder. Treatment may involve light therapy, melatonin therapy, schedule modification, and behavioral interventions.
Parasomnias (Sleepwalking, Night Terrors, REM Behavior Disorder)
Parasomnias are abnormal behaviors occurring during sleep, including sleepwalking, sleep talking, night terrors, and dream enactment behaviors. Our specialists identify underlying triggers and provide treatment strategies that improve safety and sleep quality.
Hypersomnia disorders cause excessive daytime sleepiness despite adequate sleep duration. Evaluation includes sleep studies and assessment for underlying neurologic, metabolic, psychiatric, or medication-related causes.
Snoring & Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome (UARS)
Chronic snoring and upper airway resistance syndrome can disrupt sleep quality even when full sleep apnea is not present. Our specialists evaluate airway anatomy and sleep-related breathing patterns to develop effective treatment strategies.
