Referring for sleep studies

Looking for a primary care perspective. What is your approach to sleep study referral and why? I've seen some docs look for any and every excuse to order one (regardless of STOPBANG/ESS), and I've seen others look for every excuse not to. I've seen some patients fishing for a diagnosis of sleep apnea (for military disability rating), and others hope they don't have it because they can't imagine having to sleep with a CPAP.
