Sleep Study (Polysomnography) | Quick Explainer Video

A sleep study, also known as polysomnography, is a test that is used to diagnose sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and insomnia. During the study, a patient will spend the night in a sleep lab where their brain waves, heart rate, breathing, and other vital signs are monitored while they sleep. This information is then analyzed by sleep specialists to determine if there are any disruptions in the patient’s sleep patterns that may be causing their symptoms. Sleep studies are a valuable tool in helping healthcare providers evaluate and treat sleep disorders effectively.
