When sleep problems persist, a specialist can help clarify whether the concern is primarily behavioral, medical, schedule-related, or connected with another health condition. Helyx Health offers sleep-medicine evaluation, CBT-I, and home sleep apnea testing for clinically appropriate patients in San Francisco.
Dr. Tony Masri is a neurologist and board-certified sleep-medicine physician whose Helyx practice focuses on sleep-related care.
Reasons to seek sleep care
Patients may request an evaluation for persistent insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, loud snoring, witnessed breathing pauses, gasping, unusual nighttime behavior, or difficulty maintaining a workable sleep schedule. New or severe symptoms may require primary, urgent, or emergency medical care.
Medical and behavioral services
The appropriate starting point depends on the symptom pattern. Medical sleep evaluation can assess possible sleep disorders and determine whether additional testing is indicated. CBT-I addresses chronic insomnia through a structured behavioral plan. Circadian care focuses on persistent sleep-timing misalignment.
What can Helyx’s home test diagnose?
The home test evaluates possible obstructive sleep apnea in selected patients. It does not diagnose insomnia, narcolepsy, parasomnias, circadian conditions, restless legs syndrome, seizures, or every form of sleep-disordered breathing.
Preparing for the appointment
Bring an accurate medication list and any prior sleep records requested by the practice. Be ready to describe sleep timing, nighttime symptoms, daytime sleepiness, work schedule, substances, and what you have already tried. A bed partner’s observations may be useful when available.
