OSMI is a sleep disorders center dedicated to excellence in sleep medicine care. The Ohio Sleep Medicine Institute’s founding clinic in Dublin has been accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (previously the American Sleep Disorders Association) for 20 years and has developed its own trademark program as a Center of Sleep Medicine Excellence™. Our commitment to excellence includes the

following:

• Rigorous training of board certified physicians and experienced/registered technicians
• Professional work ethic
• Comprehensive evaluation of patients with in-depth initial consultation and follow-up care
• Accurate interpretation of overnight sleep studies by our physicians
• Diagnosis and treatment of all sleep disorders
• Comprehensive and customized patient care
• Timely communication of sleep evaluations to referring physicians
• On going patient support regarding sleep related issues
• Health insurance pre-certification
• Lectures, seminars and workshops offered to health professionals

Our clinic is directed by Dr. Markus Schmidt whose clinical expertise has earned him the honor as Top Doctor in sleep medicine in Columbus Monthly, 2008, 2009 and 2010. He has also been elected by his peers for inclusion in the Best Doctor in America© database from 2007 to 2012 in the field of sleep medicine. Dr. Asim Roy recently joined Ohio Sleep Medicine Institute where he is clinical and research associate. Both physicians are board certified in sleep medicine and neurology. The clinic was originally founded by Dr. Helmut Schmidt whose vast knowledge, experience and expertise have been instrumental in establishing sleep medicine as a recognized specialty. He was the first President of the American Board of Sleep Medicine and founding organizer of the first annual Associated Professional Sleep Societies (APSS) meeting in Columbus, OH (1986). Our vision, to be the Premier Center of Sleep Medicine Excellence, is carried out in every detail of our clinic operations. We go above and beyond national accreditation standards to provide the highest quality in sleep medicine care. From an in depth initial consultation to a thorough sleep evaluation, patients are cared for in the most professional manner. We make every effort to identify the cause (or causes) of our patients’ underlying sleep problems, without unnecessary testing. Our ultimate goal is to achieve the most optimal treatment plan with the highest possible patient satisfaction. Our core philosophy rests on the principle that each patient’s sleep and health history is unique and, therefore, cannot, and should not, be approached with a “one size fits all” or “cookie cutter” approach. In addition to advocating the best patient care through comprehensive evaluation and treatment of all sleep disorders, the Ohio Sleep Medicine Institute is also devoted to continuing medical education (CME) through conferences and workshops designed to educate health professionals on the latest research and techniques in the field of sleep medicine.

No time to lose! Better catch up on sleep fast if you are sleep deprived! Carrying a sleep debt over subsequent days appears to have different health impacts than just overnight. New data published in Nature Communications shows that individuals lacking 3.5 hours of sleep one night can mitigate their mortality risk by making up their sleep loss the very next night. Individuals who wait to catch up on sleep do not benefit from the same recovery and continue to add to their mortality risk even if they make up the sleep loss several days later. https://bit.ly/3Q7TZ7x

A pill for sleep apnea? Per a new study published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, a new oral treatment shows promising results for patients with moderate to severe OSA who cannot tolerate or elect CPAP therapy. The treatment targets neuromuscular dysfunction by increasing upper airway muscle tone during sleep. Per a model-based analysis, the Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) was observed to decrease by 44% following a 26-week trial but with unclear benefits regarding measures of sleep quality. Additional measures of disease severity such as blood oxygenation were found to be improved in severe OSA patients who may experience milder symptoms following treatment, potentially contributing to cardiovascular protection. https://1l.ink/64VBLS7

Thinking of losing weight now that spring is here? Start by prioritizing sleep first! Per a new study published in Behavioral Sleep Medicine, individuals who sleep more than 6 hours and with better sleep quality lose more weight than those with short sleep and poor sleep quality. Indulge in sleep if desserts are off the table! https://1l.ink/5J3TJJ3

More therapeutic diversity is better for insomnia treatment! A new clinical practice guideline recommends combining Cognitive Behavior Therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) and medication for better results with chronic insomnia instead of pharmacological treatment alone. https://1l.ink/26BHS7N

Students thinking of pulling an all-nighter to cram for an exam may want to think twice about it! A new review suggests that even one sleepless night may be enough to cause harmful waste of beta-amyloid and tau to accumulate. Those harmful proteins are commonly found in Alzheimer’s. Sleep deprivation affects the hippocampus, an area in the brain important for memory processing, consolidation, and retrieval by impairing synaptic activity and disrupting neurotransmitter systems. Not only is cognitive flexibility affected but also decision making, mood, and attention; thus, making information processing more challenging. One more reason to not skip sleep and improve the odds of better learning, mental outcome and long-term brain resilience. https://1l.ink/XG4TZZQ

Consistent, regular sleep is key to heart health. ♥️ Not keeping up with it may slowly affect the heart overtime per a new study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association. New data suggests a link between sleep duration irregularity and increased risk for atherosclerosis. Individuals whose total sleep time varies over 2 hours from one night to another are more likely to have a higher amount of calcified plaque in the arteries delivering blood to the heart and brain.
In addition to irregular sleep duration, irregularities in sleep timing also contribute to a higher probability of having coronary artery plaque for those with a sleep onset exceeding 90 minutes from one night to another. These findings suggest that both sleep duration and consistent sleep timing are modifiable behavioral strategies to address cardiovascular health. https://1l.ink/3PS7PDF
