Dr Khurshid ... state-of-the-art care for sleep disorders.

Abu Dhabi centre offers special care for sleep disorders

ABU DHABI, June 23, 2015

Abu Dhabi-based Linde Sleep & Respiratory Care Centre is offering special treatment for those suffering from sleep disorders at its diagnostics laboratory.

“Research studies have shown that men who sleep for less than four hours a night suffer from a low level of testosterone and reduced libido. Low testosterone and libido levels are associated with reduced robustness and energetic vigour, and that tends to happen as a result of frugal sleep,” explained Dr Imtiaz Khurshid, medical director at Linde Sleep & Respiratory Care Centre.

“In a study comparing individuals sleeping four hours with those sleeping 8 hours, blood testosterone level was nearly half in those who were sleeping four hours compare to those who were sleeping eight hours.

“Testosterone hormone secretion in men is closely related to quality and quality of sleep. Poor quality of sleep, such as in severe obstructive sleep apnoea, can also negatively impact human testosterone level and libido,” he added.

For an average healthy adult, a minimum of six to eight hours of sleep is absolutely necessary. There is absolutely no replacement for lost sleep, according to Dr Khurshid.

“People may rely on temporary artificial means to relieve their fatigue caused by lack of sleep – such as caffeine and other stimulants. However, these are no solutions, and cannot help your body recover from a state of fatigue. The only solution is to make sure that you get adequate sleep,” he said.

“For those suffering from these issues relating to sleep, there are a range of treatment options at our facility. The state-of-the-art sleep disorders diagnostics laboratory employs latest technology,” said Dr Khurshid.

“We follow the procedural standards of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Our staff comprises experienced American Board certified physicians and certified sleep technologists, along with experienced respiratory technicians and therapists for patients with respiratory disorders.

“When a patient comes to the Linde Sleep and Respiratory Care Centre complaining of not getting a proper night’s sleep, they can take advantage of our complete respiratory care programme and finally start getting the rest they deserve,” he concluded. – TradeArabia News Service
