• Sleep Centers.
• Since not all sleep centers work the same, it's important to choose wisely when selecting a sleep center.   Many sleep centers are located in hospitals, but the current national trend is toward independent, free-standing sleep testing facilities directed by board certified sleep physicians. ... Distractions are minimized and you sleep in a quiet and comfortable neighborhood testing environment. Not all patients who come to a sleep center need a sleep study. It's up to a doctor to decide who should have their sleep evaluated. Sleep Centers that have a full-time sleep physician who is board certified as a specialist in sleep medicine (a diplomate of the American Board of Sleep Medicine) are  the best at selecting patients for sleep studies and interpreting results. Always ask if the center's medical director is board certified in sleep before you go. You should speak to this doctor before and after your sleep study.   Also, look for a center that employs registered sleep techs (RPSGTs) and has a comprehensive follow-up and treatment program. ... Since sleep is a new and growing field, it's important to ask questions and find the best sleep center available. ...

Insomnia, is discussed in terms of predisposing, precipitating, and perpetuating factors, the latter which include the "poor sleep hygiene" of increased caffeine, naps, retiring early, and arising late that are meant to compensate for insomnia but only aggravate it. ...
