Do I need to visit a sleep lab?

Spending the night in a sleep lab can help your doctor determine if you suffer from a sleep disorder like sleep apnea, narcolepsy, or restless leg syndrome, among others. But spending the night sleeping in a different bed and away from your home can feel daunting, especially when you’re attached to dozens of wires.

Dr. Breus talks about why your doctor might suggest you visit a sleep lab, and why increasingly, doctors are turning to home sleep tests for their patients.
