I had a sleep lab done, and it didn't check any of the three boxes Dr. Lam was looking for - not narcoleptic, not sleep apnea, not insomnia. So I asked what was the next step? He just said he couldn't help me. Didn't have any alternative ideas, or other people to send me to. Eventually he sent me to a PCP for blood tests after I begged him to come up with a plan.
