Common questions
- Do I need a sleep study first?
- No. Dr. Tanaka can tell you whether your pattern fits sleep apnea, insomnia, RLS, or something else, and whether a home sleep test or in-lab study is the right next step.
- Can she prescribe sleep medication?
- She can walk through what classes exist, what the evidence says, and what would fit your case. Actual prescriptions are written through your local clinician.
- Is CBT-I better than medication?
- For chronic insomnia, yes — CBT-I is first line. The session covers how to access it (apps, therapists, self-paced programs) and whether you might still need medication alongside.
- What if my partner thinks I have sleep apnea?
- Witnessed apneas plus daytime fatigue is a strong signal. Dr. Tanaka can walk through whether you should pursue a home sleep test first or skip straight to an in-lab study.
