Polysomnography

Polysomnography is a comprehensive sleep study used to diagnose sleep disorders. During the procedure, various sensors are placed on the body to monitor brain activity, breathing patterns, heart rate, and oxygen levels while you sleep. This data helps doctors identify issues like sleep apnea, insomnia, or restless legs syndrome. The study usually takes place in a sleep clinic or lab, and it provides valuable information to help create a tailored treatment plan for improving sleep quality and overall health.
