Emma is joined by Drew Copeland, a Sleep Tech and Sleep Coach with Sleep Better NYC. Together they discuss:
* Drew talks about his background in sleep medicine working as a sleep tech and running a sleep program.
* Working with Sleep Better NYC as a sleep coach to help people navigate sleep testing, sleep apnea diagnosis and treatment.
* Some of the problems patients come across when trying to navigate the system from PCP to Sleep Specialist to Sleep Testing to DME company.
* Drew explains in detail the different levels of sleep test, 1-4.
* Why home tests can rule sleep apnea in but cannot rule sleep apnea out.
