Taking sleep stats to sleep clinic

Has anyone else taken their stats in to a sleep clinic?  What exactly did you take?  ( I don't have a 'smart' phone to show the doctor, so will need to print it out from my computer.  It seems the sleep stats on my computer shows a graph for the last month.  Is there more I can do?

@Mytwocentsworth I've moved your post to this thread. I'm not sure about which results you should take to the doctor. Well, you can export your sleep data with everything that it has and take it to the doctor or go with them first and ask which data they want. 

 

To download sleep data > Go to your Dashboard > click on settings > Data Export and choose sleep data.

Might be able to use it as a starting point to get a referral for a sleep study, but overall, its probably not necessary. When you go in to for the study, they'll put all these seasons on your body and head, to get a very very accurate read out of your sleep cycle (whether you enter REM and for how long, etc...). They'll also monitor your breathing for sleep apnea.

OTW, your pcp should refer you. I got to the point where I could sleep 12+ hours, then fall asleep two hours later, while watching the TV. Absolute fatigue. Went to a sleep study, and learned I had "the worst sleep wake cycle" my doctor had ever seen, and I got prescribed meds. This was all well before Fitbit entered my world, so I'm guessing if you have symptoms, your doc should refer you without issue.

Yes, I take my logs with me to see my sleep doctor. I take a screen shot of each sleep log and put them all in one file, with notes on what I used (meds) or did special that night (called a hygiene routine).

I took my laptop with me (I don't have a smart phone either) but my sleep doctor was completely uninterested in the data and said she would prefer I not look at it at all or bring it up during an appointment.  She was otherwise unhelpful as well, so I am curious if you took your results to a sleep doctor and how it went.
