Diagnosis of Sleep Disorders
Speak with your health care professional if you suspect you might have a sleep disorder. You will most likely be asked to keep a sleep diary for a few nights. A sleep diary tracks your sleep patterns and behaviors to allow your physician to get a clear picture of how your sleep is being affected.
