I guess first I would go to my doctor for a sleep disorder.
People in a coma are first in the hospital and various tests are done to see why they are in a coma. Brain scans, neurological tests, etc. Therapists work with them even tho they are in a coma to help them keep their bodies functional until they wake up. Sometimes they are on life support. Often if the coma does not resolve, they go to a long term care facility for long term care until they either die or wake up from the coma.
Hope this helps.

You would go to your general physician first. If he or she felt you had a “sleep disorder” they’d refer you to a clinic that specializes in sleep disorders. I don’t think there’s a particular name for a doctor specializing in sleep disorders. Not like an Oncologist or Surgeon or anything.
