Sleep studies

Sleep studies, or polysomnography, are tests that monitor various body functions during sleep to diagnose sleep disorders. During the study, which usually takes place in a sleep clinic, sensors are placed on the patient to track brain activity, heart rate, breathing, and movements. This data helps doctors understand sleep patterns, identify issues like sleep apnea or insomnia, and assess overall sleep quality. Sleep studies provide essential insights for developing effective treatment plans to improve a person's sleep health and overall well-being.
