Looking for recommendations (or anti-recommendations/places to avoid) for sleep medicine doctors for help with chronic sleep issues. I'd especially love to hear from people who've dealt with issues other than sleep apnea because that's likely not my issue.
If you have seen a sleep medicine doctor, what diagnostics and treatments have they done other than apnea tests?
Asking because I'm trying to decide if it's worth seeking one out. If it will just be meds and/or CBT-i I would likely skip it--I'm already reasonably familiar with sleep hygiene/etc and my problem is not *falling* asleep, it's sleeping more than 5-6 hours (and I feel exhausted/"not myself" for it, rather than that seeming like enough sleep.)
I had an at-home apnea test 10 years ago (through Stanford--they were gonna do one in their facility but my insurance didn't approve it) that showed no apnea (and I don't seem likely to have it based on demographics) but I moved across the US shortly after that and never pursued more care. I'm now living someplace more remote and I work more so finding/going to a really good doctor would be more complex.
I see that various companies sell replacement lids for the bottles that GTs/Kevita is sold in (intended for people who brew their own kombucha in these 38mm reused bottles) and I'm curious if anyone here uses them and if they tend to trap moisture/are hard to clean?
I actually reuse these bottles for plain water but the lids they come with start to smell quickly - I think they trap moisture in them - and I'm looking for some lids that won't.
