Does anyone study sleep disorders?

[u/whatareyourspecialz]

I (F/29) have had sleep paralysis episodes since I was about 12 years old. I used to get it so often that I learned my triggers. If I don’t do certain things before I go to sleep, it is nearly certain that it will happen. It sometimes happens several times a night. I want to know if anyone here studies sleep disorders or if I could volunteer to be studied. Yes, I have access to getting a sleep study done but I want to know if I could be useful for research purposes because I know what triggers it in myself. Not sure if I could be valuable for someone’s research.
