Sleep Study (Polysomnography)

A sleep study, or polysomnography, is a comprehensive test that monitors your sleep patterns and physiological functions while you rest. During the study, sensors are placed on your body to record brain activity, eye movements, heart rate, breathing, oxygen levels, and muscle activity. This data helps doctors identify sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, or narcolepsy. Conducted overnight in a specialized sleep lab, the study provides valuable insights into your sleep quality and disruptions, guiding appropriate treatment to improve your rest and overall health.
