Polysomnography (Sleep Studies)

Polysomnography (PSG) is a comprehensive sleep study used to diagnose sleep disorders. During the test, you spend the night in a sleep lab, where sensors record your brain activity, eye movements, heart rate, breathing patterns, and muscle activity. This information helps doctors understand how well you sleep and identifies issues like sleep apnea or restless leg syndrome. The results guide treatment options to improve your sleep quality and overall health. PSG is an essential tool in clinical neurophysiology, focusing on the relationship between the brain and sleep.
