Sleep medicine doctors are specialists that diagnose and treat sleep disorders. Sleep medicine doctors treat conditions like:

  • Sleep apnea
  • Restless leg syndrome
  • Insomnia
  • Narcolepsy

Sleep specialists use polysomnograms or sleep studies to evaluate your sleep quality. During this study, you’ll sleep with monitors attached to measure your brainwaves, heart rate, eye movement, breathing, and muscle movement during sleep.

Once a sleep disorder is diagnosed, a sleep medicine doctor will decide how to treat the condition. Treatment options might include medications and medical devices or dental appliances to treat sleep apnea.

Sleep doctors are real medical doctors that have received additional training in managing sleep disorders. After completion of their medical training, sleep medicine doctors receive additional education in the field of sleep medicine.

Sleep medicine is a speciality recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Doctors complete a fellowship in sleep medicine and are then eligible to sit for a board certification examination in sleep medicine.

A sleep specialist can help with symptoms that affect your ability to sleep and feel rested. You should see a sleep specialist if you experience:

  • Snoring or gasping for air while you sleep
  • Have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep
  • Feel tired during the day even after a night of sleep
  • Have difficulty getting through your day because of feeling tired

Not all neurologists are sleep doctors, but some neurologists may hold additional certification as a sleep specialist. Most sleep doctors are initially trained in internal medicine, pulmonology, or neurology before their extra training in sleep specialization.

Psychiatrists often treat sleep disorders that are triggered by mental health disorders such as depression. But for problems not related to a psychiatric disorder, you will need a sleep specialist.
