If you’re having difficulty falling or staying asleep, it could be impacting your health. Take charge of your health by talking to your doctor about your sleep and risk of sleep apnea.
Before you meet with your doctor to discuss your sleep symptoms, it’s important to be prepared. This can help put you at ease and make your appointment more productive.
Not sure where to get started? Start by taking our sleep quiz to determine if you are at risk for sleep apnea or insomnia. Bring your results with you to your appointment so you can discuss your risk with your doctor.
Here are 10 additional questions you may want to ask during your appointment with your doctor:
- Could changing my existing medications or changing the way I take them make a difference in my sleeping patterns?
- Are there options besides medications that could help me sleep?
- Do the foods I eat—and the time I eat them—affect my ability to sleep?
- How do my exercise habits affect my sleep?
- How does my poor sleep affect my overall health?
- How many hours of sleep should I be getting?
- How can I get a better night’s sleep?
- Does my medical history put me at risk for sleep apnea?
- If I have sleep apnea, how does that affect my overall health?
- Can you refer me to Careica Health for a sleep study?
