Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Sleep evaluation: A sleep evaluation is available with Healthtap. Avoid caffeine and fluids two hours of less before bedtime, avoid electronic device use prior to bedtime and note the number of nights that your snore/ week. Discuss the use of Melatonin with your PCP.
