When sleep trouble deserves a sleep study

Snoring with witnessed breathing pauses, waking gasping, or severe daytime sleepiness despite adequate hours — together, a sleep-study conversation. Creeping, crawling leg sensations at night with an urge to move deserve an iron and ferritin check. And insomnia lasting months has first-line treatment (CBT-I) — structured, evidence-based, and more effective long-term than any medication or supplement. This page cannot determine the cause of your sleep difficulties; a clinician can.
