There is a difference between trouble falling asleep and a sleep disorder.
What's more, diagnosing sleep disorders can be difficult, even for sleep professionals.
For family practices, dentists, primary care physicians, and specialists like ENTs, the challenge in narrowing down their patients' medical concerns to those which may be related to poor sleep can be even more difficult.
Fortunately, there are tools available to help healthcare professionals to identify the potential for sleep disorders in their patients.
These tools are also available for patients who suspect their sleep problems are the result of an undiagnosed sleep disorder or ongoing sleep deprivation.
