Sleep Disorders

Being advised to have a sleep study may raise questions about the equipment and whether you will be able to sleep. Knowing what to expect can make the appointment feel more familiar.

Do your legs feel uncomfortable just when you are ready to rest? Describing the sensation and when it occurs can help a clinician understand whether restless legs syndrome or another problem may be involved.

Sleep disorders can affect your ability to fall asleep, breathe comfortably at night or stay alert during the day. Recognising a pattern helps you describe the problem, but symptoms alone are not a diagnosis.
