Quotes:
 
“I’ll try to make it sound boring even though it’s so crazy exciting for me.”
 
“Any physician can order a sleep study.”
 
“Be prepared for lots of glue.”
 
“It can be a little bit of an awkward feeling when you go for these in-lab sleep studies.”
 
“Oftentimes…health insurances will…require you to do a home sleep test because it’s much less expensive for them to pay for.”
 
“With a home sleep test, you’re in your own bed, you’re getting your true night’s sleep, you probably sleep a little longer, and a little deeper, and sometimes…you can get more accurate information from there.”
