Most executive health programs treat sleep as a line item on an intake form. Here, your sleep is evaluated by a physician who is actually board-certified in Sleep Medicine — because poor sleep is rarely just about being tired. It shows up as brain fog in a board meeting, a stalled metabolism, rising blood pressure, or the kind of burnout a vacation does not fix.
Board-certified: Sleep Medicine & Internal Medicine
Evaluated within your Executive Health care, not by referral
Sleep affects heart, brain, metabolism and more
Testing only when clinically indicated
High-performing professionals tend to treat sleep as the thing they will fix later: after the deal closes, after the quarter ends, after things slow down. They rarely do. Chronic sleep disruption compounds quietly. Decision-making gets slower, recovery from stress takes longer, and the cardiovascular and metabolic strain adds up long before it surfaces as a diagnosis.
If you lead a business or a team, this is not abstract. It is the difference between showing up sharp for a high-stakes decision and running on reserves you do not have.
Dr. Mohamed Shamiya is board-certified in both Internal Medicine and Sleep Medicine, and is Founder & President of Las Vegas Sleep Center. That is one reason your sleep evaluation happens inside your Executive Health care rather than through a referral to a specialist you have never met. He is also the author of Get Your Sleep Right™.
Most executive health programs partner with an outside sleep lab or send patients elsewhere for anything beyond a basic screening questionnaire. Here, sleep is evaluated as a core part of your Executive Health Assessment from the start — by the physician managing your overall care rather than a separate specialist working from a different chart.
Depending on what your evaluation uncovers, your physician may recommend further evaluation or management for conditions that significantly affect long-term health and performance.
Repeated pauses in breathing that fragment sleep and strain the heart.
Difficulty falling or staying asleep over the long term.
Uncomfortable urges to move the legs that disrupt rest.
Common in frequent travelers and shift-adjacent schedules.
Persistent sleepiness that undercuts focus and decisions.
Sleep health is assessed as part of your Executive Health Assessment rather than as a separate specialty visit. Not every patient needs further workup — testing and additional evaluation are recommended only when clinically indicated.
Rather than a single questionnaire, your physician looks at the signals that actually predict risk and performance — from breathing and snoring to how travel and stress are shaping your nights.
Managing sustained, high-stakes stress.
Dealing with jet lag and disrupted schedules.
Tiredness that hasn't been explained.
Conditions closely tied to sleep quality.
Who suspects sleep is quietly limiting their performance.
Because sleep affects nearly every system tied to your long-term health and performance, it is far more useful to evaluate it alongside everything else rather than in isolation.
Not necessarily. Sleep testing is recommended only when clinically indicated after your physician evaluation.
Yes. Sleep consultations are available independently, though many patients choose to integrate them into their Executive Health Assessment.
Yes, for established patients, where clinically appropriate and permitted by physician licensure.
Loud snoring, witnessed breathing pauses, waking unrefreshed after adequate hours, persistent daytime sleepiness, early morning headaches, difficulty maintaining focus, and blood pressure that is difficult to control are all reasons to be evaluated.
Home sleep apnea testing is appropriate for many patients. Your physician will determine whether home testing or in-laboratory testing is indicated based on your history and other medical conditions.
Sleep testing is often billed through insurance when clinically indicated, separate from the self-pay Executive Health Assessment. Coverage depends on your plan.
Not necessarily. CPAP is the most established treatment, but oral appliances, positional therapy, weight management, and surgical options exist. Your physician reviews what fits your severity and your preferences.
Yes. Sleep quality and sleep continuity matter as much as duration. Untreated sleep disorders fragment sleep without necessarily shortening it, which is why people can spend eight hours in bed and still wake unrefreshed.
That varies with the condition and the treatment. Many patients notice changes in daytime alertness within weeks, while cardiovascular and metabolic benefits accrue over longer periods.
Sleep is evaluated as a core part of your Executive Health Assessment — or as a standalone consultation. Either way, it’s the physician managing your care who reviews it.
