Sleep Consultation

During an initial sleep consultation, a sleep specialist will interview the patient about his/her sleep habits. The specialist uses the patient's history to evaluate symptoms such as difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, daytime sleepiness or fatigue, breathing problems during sleep, restless legs at night and other various troublesome behaviors. The sleep specialist may recommend an overnight sleep study known as a Polysomnogram, to further evaluate patients.
