In reply to Why Do They PDocs Want Sleep Studies?, posted by Phillipa on February 23, 2005, at 20:03:36
> Now my new pdoc wants to do sleep studies on me. Why can't they understand that I am an extremely light sleeper, and awaken even if my husband gets out of bed during the night. Once I'm awake, my little brain begins the "worry game" and I require the other half of my sleep meds to go back to sleep. Don't they understand that it's expensive? Time consuming? And who could go to sleep all wired up without meds? I just want to be left alone and let me take my meds. What would they see except sleep apnea [which I don't have}? Does anybody know? Thanks Phillipa
Hi Phillipa,It seems like you have a good routine. If you are not complaining about your sleep and the meds are working I don't know why the PDoc would require this testing. JN
