Sleep and Brain Health

It is estimated that diagnosing and treating Obstructive Sleep Apnea can prolong life expectancy by 15%. In addition, recent data highlights the value of getting 8 hours of sleep to clear amyloid and tau proteins in the brain, related to Alzheimers. Never before has the study of sleep and the importance of getting good sleep been as important to the overall health and wellness of our patients. New technologies allow sleep studies to be performed in the comfort of one’s own bed along with virtual consults making testing and diagnosis easier than ever before. Privia Medical Group is proud to have Dr. Akinyinka Ajelabi serving as the Medical Director for this service line.
