5. What sleep disorders may be diagnosed after my sleep study?
   
   
6. What happens if I have trouble sleeping during the sleep study?
   
   
7. Will the tests performed during my sleep study be uncomfortable or painful?
   
   
8. What will happen after I get the results of my sleep study?
   
   
9. Can I return to my normal daily activities following my sleep study?
   
   
10. How long before the sleep study results are available? How will I learn of the results?
    
    
11. Will I need to undergo repeat sleep testing? If so, how often?
