AASM Sleep Score

The AASM Sleep Score is a standardized system used by sleep experts to categorize different stages of sleep based on brain activity, eye movements, and muscle activity. It helps accurately identify periods of restful sleep, lighter sleep, REM sleep (when dreaming occurs), and wakefulness. This scoring system ensures consistency and accuracy in diagnosing sleep patterns and disorders. Essentially, it provides a clear framework for understanding how well someone is sleeping throughout the night by analyzing specific physiological signals collected during sleep studies.
