I’ve been referred for a sleep study. Why, and what does that mean?
Your physician has referred you for a sleep study because s/he feels that you may have a sleep disorder that is preventing you from getting the healthy, restorative sleep that you need. Although many of us take sleep for granted, doctors know that regular, restful sleep is just as important to your health as exercise and a balanced diet. There are many types of sleep disorders. Based on the results of your sleep test, your symptoms and your medical history, your doctor will be able to make a diagnosis, recommend treatment and get you on the road to better sleep and a healthier life.
