My Story: Sleep Study Helps to Diagnose Sleep Disorders

Just Lazy or Something More?

Growing up, Dylan had a difficult time taking care of herself. From basic chores like making meals and doing laundry to getting to school on time, she was always tired and oversleeping. Her mom thought she was lazy and Dylan even got kicked out of high school at one point because the school staff thought she was on drugs.

When Dylan heard about something called a sleep study, she knew this could give her some answers, but there was one problem: it was expensive.

She needed a diagnosis before her health insurance would cover any medication, which meant the study would be out of pocket. Dylan had heard of using CareCredit for pets' medical care, but didn't realize it could be used for other things until she was looking to pay for her own procedure.

After getting approved for a CareCredit credit card, Dylan was able to have the sleep study performed, was diagnosed with Type 1 narcolepsy with cataplexy,¹ and got the medications she desperately needed to live a normal life.
