"Bring up how you’re sleeping. It's a question that we're missing in the office visit. I think we should be talking about sleep more because it's so connected to how the rest of your day goes and your other health conditions."

"If parents are concerned that their children are snoring, having difficulty breathing at night, having pauses, if they're cranky (in the morning), difficult to wake up, having changes in their grades, then they should talk to their pediatrician about having a sleep study."

"Snoring alone doesn't mean the patient has sleep apnea. It should be associated with other symptoms. And the symptoms of sleep apnea are feeling fatigued, tired, decrease in energy, poor concentration, and witnessed episodes of stop breathing at night."
