Finally, a good night's sleep

Thanks to Deborah Heart and Lung Center
Fifty-eight-year-old Leslie Harrison of Manahawkin is so grateful to Deborah Heart and Lung Center. After years of broken sleep, which left him exhausted during the day, Harrison now sleeps peacefully with a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine, prescribed for him after his sleep study at Deborah two years ago.

“I had a terrible condition: awful sleep apnea,” he says. “I was my mom's caregiver for 20 years, but between the stress of that and not ever getting a full night's rest, I was just so tired all the time.”

Harrison's fatigue kept him from being able to work. Then one day he saw a Deborah billboard advertising the Institute for Sleep Medicine. “Everyone treated me so well when I came here,” he says. “There was tremendous courtesy and respect. The sleep study enabled me to get the proper diagnosis for my condition and a prescription so I could get the right equipment.”

And since then? “I have increased energy. I can do more. I'm grateful for this. I'm now able to work part-time, which I couldn't do before. This has made me self-sufficient,” Harrison says, noting that the transformation over the last two years has been amazing. “I have a much brighter outlook on life itself. I wish more people knew about this and that they could get help. Sleeping better takes so much stress off your system; you feel like a new person.”
