A sleep study, or polysomnogram, is a recording that contains numerous types of measurements used to identify different sleep stages and classify various sleep problems. This study will probably be a new experience and we recommend you to learn more about it before you arrive at the sleep clinic.
Many parts of the brain control sleep and influence its different stages. These levels or stages of sleep include drowsiness, light sleep, deep sleep, and dream sleep. We can tell which stage of sleep a person is in by measuring different activities of the brain and body. These activities include brain waves, eye movements, muscle tone, heart rate, and respiration.
The above mentioned activities that occur during sleep are monitored by applying small metal discs called electrodes to the head and skin. These electrodes are attached with an adhesive hypoallergenic tape. Flexible elastic belts are placed around your chest and abdomen to measure your breathing. The level of oxygen in your blood and your heart rate are monitored by a clip that fits on your index finger. None of these devices hurt and all are designed to be as comfortable as possible.
The sleep study and its analysis and interpretation involve a complex process. Many hours of work are required by specially trained people, including sleep technologists who process or score large amount of data from the night.
The information is then interpreted by a sleep specialist with special knowledge of and training in sleep and its disorders. A typical sleep study involves more than 800 pages of different types of data (e.g., brain waves, muscle movements, eye movements). Due to this time-consuming and labor-intensive process, sleep studies are usually not evaluated immediately and it may take some time to receive the results of your study. Treatment recommendations will be made if evidence of a sleep disorder is found.
Our Sleep Study Facility is focused on the quality of the study and on the patient’s comfort. Dr Marivic Villa, M.D., F.C.C.P is specialist in sleep study, and all sleep studies are scored by a trained sleep technician.
We are dedicated to keep the patient as comfortable as possible.
