A useful care conversation
Describe your sleep schedule, caffeine or alcohol use, medicines and daytime sleepiness. Mention snoring or breathing pauses. A clinician can discuss sleep routines and whether further evaluation is needed. Tap does not prescribe controlled substances.
When to seek more care
- Arrange an in-person assessment for suspected sleep apnea, marked daytime sleepiness or symptoms that persist or worsen.
