Does every Sutter Sleep Disorders Centers patient undergo a sleep study?
Sleep studies may show abnormalities (such as those present in narcolepsy, restless legs syndrome and parasomnias) and breathing issues (sleep apnea) that affect a patient’s ability to achieve a restful night’s sleep. Whether or not you need a sleep study depends on the condition that brought you to the Sutter Sleep Disorders Centers. Most patients complaining of insomnia, for example, do not need a sleep study, as treatment is rarely changed with this type of information. Back to top.
