Sleep Study

​​

Sleep disorders can significantly impact your overall health and quality of life. Conditions such as insomnia, sleep apnea, and chronic snoring can lead to fatigue, poor concentration, and long-term health complications if left untreated. We offer advanced sleep study services to accurately diagnose and manage sleep disorders—especially those related to respiratory conditions like asthma and COPD.

What Is a Sleep Study?

A sleep study, medically known as polysomnography, is a comprehensive diagnostic test that monitors your body’s functions while you sleep. It helps identify sleep disturbances such as sleep apnea, snoring, insomnia, and other sleep-related disorders.

During the study, sensors record vital data including brain activity, breathing patterns, oxygen levels, heart rate, and muscle movement. This detailed analysis allows specialists to make an accurate diagnosis and design an effective, personalized treatment plan.

Types of Sleep Studies

• Polysomnography (PSG):
  A comprehensive overnight sleep test that monitors brain waves, breathing, heart rate, oxygen levels, and muscle activity.

• Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT):
  A simplified sleep study performed at home, primarily used to diagnose sleep apnea.

• Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT):
  A daytime test that evaluates excessive daytime sleepiness and helps diagnose narcolepsy.

How Does a Sleep Study Work?

A sleep study is a painless, non-invasive procedure typically conducted overnight.

Pre-Study Preparation

• Avoid caffeine and heavy meals before the test.

• The procedure will be explained in detail, and any questions will be addressed.

• Guidance will be provided to help you feel comfortable and prepared.

During the Sleep Study

• You will rest in a quiet, private room designed to replicate a home-like environment.

• Small, painless sensors are attached to monitor sleep activity.

• Sleep patterns are monitored continuously by trained technicians.

What Is Monitored?

• Brain activity (EEG): Sleep stages and quality

• Oxygen levels: Detection of breathing-related issues

• Heart rate (ECG): Cardiac activity during sleep

• Breathing patterns: Snoring, apneas, and respiratory effort

• Muscle activity (EMG): Detection of movement-related sleep disorders

After the Sleep Study

• Collected data is thoroughly analyzed by specialists.

• A detailed diagnostic report is prepared.

• A follow-up consultation is scheduled to discuss results and treatment options.
