Specializes in Internal Medicine - Sleep Medicine

Additionally...: Additionally, if you have nasal congestion (could be due to allergies, deviated septum, or other means of obstruction) that can periodically wake you up at night leading to fragmented sleep and frequent hypnic jerks. So a sleep medicine specialist can evaluate this issue as well.
