Hello, 

My name is Paul Testagrossa and I was wondering if your institution ever provides discounted or free diagnostic studies for the uninsured who have serious sleep issues. I have never been dianosed by a Doctor or sleep specialist. However, I have a strong signs of Sleep Apnea (very loud constant snoring/breathing issues), severe bruxism (specifically my jaw coming completely unhinged 40-50 a night with loud cracks). In addition to these symptoms I have a hard time waking from sleep or wake suddenly and leap to my feet in an attack mode and never remember it later. I also never feel rested even from excessive sleep.  Only my lack of insurance has prevented me from seeking help sooner. If your institution can not help me, I was hoping you could point me in the right direction to look for help elsewhere in the New York City area. Or perhaps are there any college sleep study programs you could suggest? I have been dealing with increasing symptoms for 3 years and now fear for my health. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Paul Testagrossa.
