The clinic was founded to diagnose and treat patients who have difficulties falling asleep or staying asleep at night, problems with excessive daytime sleepiness, or other medical problems that may occur or exacerbate during sleep.

The clinics are fully accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
