ADVOCACY
When patients need to investigate their own sleep problems…
Your best bet is to talk to your primary care physician. Give them some details about how your sleep has worsened. Your doctor has many excellent screening tests for determining the best diagnostic procedures necessary to identify sleep disorders you might have and, once diagnosed, nearly every kind of sleep disorder is treatable.
