Does everyone have a sleep study?

I just got off the phone with the woman in my surgeon's office who handles the surgery prep work and such, and she gave me the times and dates that I needed to go to do my lab works and things, but she never mentioned a sleep study. I thought I read somewhere that its very imptortant to get this done before you have your surgery. I'm not sure if I have it or not, I snore, but I don't fall asleep during the day. I don't wake up gasping for air. My question is, will it be harmful if I don't have one done and have surgery anyway? And should I schedule one on my own? Thanks so much for you help.
