Current Clinical Trials

Currently we are conducting the following Clinical Trials:

Idiopathic Hypersomnia Clinical Trial: Patients ages 18-55, with Idiopathic Hypersomnia. This study is looking at the effect of a new medicine on sleepiness in patients with Idiopathic Hypersomnia who have access to their previous test results confirming Idiopathic Hypersomnia. It lasts 10 weeks, with up to five 24 hour stays with us as well as two other visits. We pay up to $2000 for the subject’s time and expenses.
Adult Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Clinical Trial: Patients ages 18-55, with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. This study is looking at the effect of a new medicine (a new version of amphetamine) on attention deficit in adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It lasts 8 weeks, with 7 office visits.

Clinical trials come and go, and they fill up fast.

What Our Patients Say

I have been extremely impressed with Dr. Sangal and all of his staff. Everyone has been so helpful and wonderfull explaining all the testing to us. We felt right at home when my daugther did her sleep apnea test, she was very comfortable. I recommend Dr. Sangal, Im very happy with everything.

Angie

I think Dr. Sangal and his staff are wonderful. Everyone is polite and caring. Dr. Sangal has extended my life by diagnosing my sleep apnea and putting me on a treatment plan. I was headed for a stroke and didn’t know it. Thank you Dr. Sangal for all your good care!

La-Von

I can’t rave enough about Dr. Sangal and his staff. The way this doctor thoroughly assesses and treats, and monitors patients with sleep disorders and ADHD is unbelievable. I’ve learned so much in being his patient and have watched both my daughter’s and my own sleep/ADHD conditions improve immensely. I would highly recommend this doctor and his wonderful staff.

ADD Mom

It is great to be able to rest, and to be able to think again. My sleep is clear and restful and I have more energy and I am loving it! Thank you Dr. Sangal.

Nathan Johnson

What an amazing sleep facility. I was very impressed with the hotel-type accomodations in my room. Because I also deal with asthma, my breathing was difficulty for a while before sleeping. Both the Sleep Techs were very attentive and made certain I was comfortable. Outstanding experience!

Nan

Dr. Sangal not only has helped my son’s ADHD, but the staff is helpful & courteous, and Dr. Sangal always runs on time & we never wait very long.

Tara Yagonczak

I enjoy comeing in to see the Dr. because of all the great people he has working for him. You all are so good that I fell like I am at home when I come in.

Joesph O'Bryan

I have used CPAP every night for more than 15 years. Dr. Sangal has worked with me over time and I believe CPAP treatment has made my life, in general, easier; reducing fatigue which had built up over the years in my profession. I am today more relaxed and better able to handle the problems and anxieties of life, and am better able to enjoy my family and relate better to friends and associates. I am 77 years old.

Cookie

Dr. Sangal and his office staff are so pleasant and made me feel so comfortable. I was always able to schedule an appointment quickly and my treatment showed immediate improvements to my sleep.

Sleepy, Tired, Fatigued? You May Have Idiopathic Hypersomnia

June 25, 2018

Are you tired, sleepy, fatigued? You may have Idiopathic Hypersomnia. Sleep medicine doctors often ignore idiopathic hypersomnia. Many sleep medicine doctors focus exclusively on sleep apnea. Others understand and look for narcolepsy with cataplexy (now called narcolepsy type 1). Narcolepsy with cataplexy is a rare disorder. In my experience, narcolepsy without cataplexy (now called narcolepsy…
