Online sleep doctors and prescriptions

Sleep physicians and sleep specialists are doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. Most train in internal medicine, psychiatry, pediatrics, or neurology, during their residency. After completing their residency, they complete a fellowship program in sleep medicine.

Sleep physicians that receive training in sleep medicine are accredited by the board certification from the American Board of Sleep Medicine (ABSM).

Sleep psychologists are sleep specialists who focus on the mental and behavioral issues that may contribute to sleep problems.

Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctors or Otolaryngologists, will also perform procedures to address certain sleep issues. For example, repairing structural problems with the nose, mouth, or throat that cause snoring or obstructive sleep apnea.

In most cases, yes. Insurance providers will often help pay for the treatment of sleep disorders. Even with insurance, however, the amount you pay depends upon the healthcare provider that you have, and the out-of-pocket costs and deductibles tied to the plan.

There are more than 80 kinds of sleep disorders. Some of the most common are:

Insomnia: Up to 10% of adults in America meet the criteria for insomnia, which is describes a difficulty falling or staying asleep. Insomnia has several levels of severity, ranging from acute to chronic.

Sleep apnea: There are three main kinds of sleep apnea. Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common of the three and occurs when throat muscles relax during sleep. Central sleep apnea occurs when the brain doesn't send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing. Complex sleep apnea syndrome occurs when a person has both obstructive and central sleep apnea.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS): An uncomfortable and uncontrollable urge to move your legs while lying down.

Narcolepsy: Excessive daytime sleepiness. This may also manifest as sleep paralysis, hallucinations, and in some cases cataplexy (a sudden physical collapse usually triggered by a strong emotion).
