In-Lab & At-Home Sleep Studies
Your healthcare provider may recommend a sleep test based on your symptoms and sleep history. An evaluation often involves overnight monitoring at our sleep center. Home sleep testing also might be an option.
In-Lab Polysomnogram (PSG) Sleep Study
This study is conducted overnight in our sleep lab to diagnose:
- Sleep apnea
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Narcolepsy
- Circadian rhythm disorders
- Parasomnias (sleep behaviors)
- Periodic limb movements
Electrodes are attached to your body to monitor your brain waves, breathing, and movement. A technologist watches the monitors to ensure the quality of the study and render treatment if needed.
A PSG sleep study records:
- Brainwave activity and sleep stages
- Heart rhythm
- Muscle tone
- Leg movements
- Breathing patterns
- Blood oxygen levels
Home Sleep Apnea Test (HSAT)
HSAT can be used at home to diagnose sleep apnea. You are given a portable unit to use overnight in your own bed. There are a few monitors that need to be put on. A home test can only be done on a person 18 years old and older.
A home test records:
- Breathing patterns
- Blood oxygen levels
- Heart rate
