    HOW TO KNOW IF YOU NEED
    A SLEEP STUDY

    Answer the following questions to see if a sleep study
    might be right for you:
    • Do you make noises when you sleep?
    • Do you wake up suddenly gasping for air or have difficulty breathing?
    • Do you take naps, get sleepy during the day, or fall asleep at inappropriate places during the day?
    • Do you suffer from high blood pressure or any cardiovascular issue?
    • Do you wake up in the morning with a headache?
    • Do you wake up frequently throughout the night or have difficulty falling asleep?
    • Do you feel tired, lethargic, or have difficulty focusing?
    • Do you suffer from untreated diabetes?

    If you answered yes to two or more of these questions, consult your physician — you may benefit from a test at our Sleep Clinic, where we will help you recover the quality of your sleep and address related health issues.
