What is a sleep study?
A sleep study is an evaluation of how your body functions during sleep. Activities of your brain, heart, lungs and certain muscles are recorded and stored in a computer as you sleep. The recording of these signals is called a polysomnogram. An analysis of the recording is used to diagnose the presence and severity of sleep disorders. The study is preformed in a private sleep room. This is a painless procedure. No needles, drugs or invasive procedures are used.
