The average person spends approximately one third of their life sleeping. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, adults need seven or more hours of sleep per night and children need 8-12 hours of sleep per 24 hours, depending on age. However, while time is often the primary form of measurement for sleep, it’s not necessarily the most important.

Dr. Reddy is part of the team of specialists at the CHI St. Vincent Pulmonology and Sleep Medicine Clinic, which treats patients with sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy, hypersomnia and restless leg syndrome, among others.
