Treatment with my local sleep medicine doctor has gone as it can, without any resolution. I have the two severe types of sleep apnea that cannot be treated due to a type of sleep disturbance, and I'm ok with that. But my specific sleep disturbance, ISWRD (irregular sleep wake rhythm disorder), does not seem to be resolvable locally. As background, this is most frequently seen in the elderly population in nursing homes, and thus I'm an outlier.

Would anyone happen to know of a specialist or facility that might be known for addressing ISWRD? Anywhere is fine as long as I can do telehealth.

Boosts are greatly appreciated. Thanks all!
