Are sleep clinics legit/helpful, or a scam?

Sleep clinics can be a real help–not only for snoring, but also if you’re excessively sleepy during the day.

I’d agree with some of the other posters and talk to your regular doctor first, and see if he/she has a sleep clinic they have worked with and trust.

Some sleep clinics may be scams–So, I went to a sleep clinic affiliated with a university teaching hospital.

And, no, I DIDN’T have sleep apnea or narcolepsy. It turns out that every time my body goes into Stage 4 (the deepest sleep), Stage 1/2 sleep intrudes. So, even if I get a lot of sleep, it’s not restorative sleep.
