I too am having another sleep study done, first one in 12 years or so. I stopped using my CPAP last summer after some experimenting showed that I didn't sleep any better with it than without it since I lost all that weight.
But some months later, another sleep problem arose, serious problem falling asleep at all with the result that I'm many nights getting no more than an hour or two's sleep. Saw my PCP, and he suggested iron tablets to counteract restless leg syndrome (which I know I have, but which I doubt is all the story).
Interestingly, the first two sleep studies I had done, back in the mid-90s, the consulting doctor was a neurologist. Now at my HMO it is in the hands of the pulmonary people. Unfortunately I don't see them for another six weeks.
