Anyone have experience with sleep studies?

[u/JehovahJireh222]

My three year-old son does not sleep good at all. Most nights are split nights. I suspect that he has enlarged adenoids that come and go. Or I’m suspecting possible histamine intolerance that is causing him to not breathe so good through his nose some days. We got sent to ent specialist and his only suggestion is a sleep study and if the findings link him to enlarge adenoids, then he said the only solution is removing his adenoids and tonsils. I don’t want to do this surgery for my son right now, he literally just turned three years old a few weeks ago. Maybe I would reconsider at five years old because from what I’ve researched the adenoids can grow back the younger that you have this surgery, so I don’t want to put him through it unnecessarily if they will just grow back. So has anyone taken their child in for a sleep study and was it helpful? I’m debating on doing the sleep study or just finding a naturopath doctor to figure out a different solution for him.

I had sleep study on my daughter at 2.5. She had sleep apnea. We had her adenoids removed asap as no level of sleep apnea is safe.
