Your regular Dr: While the specialists in sleep medicine handle really tough cases and read sleep studies your regular dr can order the tests.

MD: Start with your regular MD. Some also evaluate/treat sleep patients. Otherwise, he/she will refer. Other docs who specialize in sleep disorders include neurologists, pulmonary specialists and dentists who treat sleep disorders.
