Diagnostic Polysomnography

Do you suspect you have a sleep disorder? A diagnostic polysomnography, also known as a sleep study, is a painless test that can help identify the cause of your sleep problems and get you on the road to a better night's rest.

What it does:

• Records brain waves, heart rate, breathing, blood oxygen levels, eye movements, and leg movements while you sleep.
• Provides a comprehensive picture of your sleep patterns and cycles.
• Helps diagnose sleep disorders like sleep apnea, insomnia, narcolepsy, and restless leg syndrome.

Benefits:

• Improved sleep quality
• Increased daytime alertness and energy
• Reduced risk of health problems associated with sleep disorders, such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes

What to expect:

• The sleep study is usually performed overnight in a sleep lab or center.
• Technicians will attach sensors to your scalp, chest, legs, and finger to monitor your body functions.
• You can bring your pajamas and pillow to make yourself more comfortable.
• The test is painless and non-invasive.
