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.”
