When to Refer to Sleep Medicine
All patients referred to Valley Children’s Sleep Medicine Program will first be seen for a consultation. Once we confirm the correct sleep study test has been ordered, the patient will be scheduled for a sleep study and then a follow-up appointment to review the study results.

- Restless or continuous movement during sleep
