Sleep Study (polysomnography)

A Sleep Study, also known as Polysomnography, is a comprehensive, non-invasive test used to diagnose sleep disorders. It records various body functions while you sleep, including brain activity, breathing patterns, oxygen levels, heart rate, and body movements.

This test helps doctors understand your sleep quality and identify any underlying issues affecting your rest and overall health.

A sleep study is recommended to diagnose and evaluate conditions such as:

  • Sleep Apnea (Obstructive & Central)
  • Snoring and breathing disorders
  • Insomnia
  • Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)
  • Narcolepsy
  • Unexplained daytime fatigue
