Sleep Study

A sleep study, or polysomnography, is a comprehensive test used to diagnose sleep disorders. This overnight test monitors your sleep cycles and stages to identify disruptions that could affect your health. Conditions such as sleep apnea, insomnia, restless leg syndrome, and other sleep-related issues are often detected through this process.

During the study, you'll spend the night at a sleep center or a specially equipped hospital room. Sensors will be placed on your body to measure brain activity, eye movements, heart rate, oxygen levels, and breathing patterns while you sleep. The data collected helps your doctor understand your sleep quality and pinpoint any abnormalities that need attention.

By diagnosing and treating sleep disorders, a sleep study can significantly improve your overall well-being. Addressing sleep issues can lead to better mental and physical health, enhanced daytime functioning, and a higher quality of life.
