Expedited Treatment of Sleep Disorders

Patients in this arm will undergo an expedited polysomnogram (if clinically necessary) and early treatment of any sleep disorders. Sleep-related disorders will be managed with the currently recommended therapies; patients with obstructive sleep apnea will be treated with positional therapy, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), etc., and those with restless legs syndrome will be treated with standard treatments such as iron, or dopaminergic agonists. Patients will also be counselled on improving their sleep hygiene and adjusting the timing of their medication administration to optimize efficacy. Furthermore, patients will receive information handouts.
