Sleep Study

A Sleep Study, medically known as Polysomnography, is a comprehensive overnight test used to diagnose sleep disorders, particularly Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). It monitors various physiological parameters while a person sleeps, to evaluate the quality, pattern, and disturbances of sleep.

It is typically done in a sleep laboratory, but simplified home-based sleep studies are also available for screening certain conditions.

Indications

• Loud snoring
• Daytime sleepiness or fatigue
• Pauses in breathing during sleep (observed apnea)
• Morning headaches
• Insomnia or restless sleep
• Unexplained hypertension
• Suspected sleep apnea, narcolepsy, periodic limb movement disorder, or REM behavior disorder

Common Conditions Diagnosed

• Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
• Central Sleep Apnea
• Hypoventilation syndromes
• Narcolepsy
• Insomnia (psychophysiological)
• Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD)
