Sleep doctors perform a test called a polysomnography, or sleep study, which allows them to observe your sleep habits overnight and diagnose common sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, insomnia, narcolepsy and work shift disorder, among others. Sleep studies are conducted at a sleep center, in a room equipped with the monitoring equipment to measure your heart rate, breathing, brain activity and muscle movement as you sleep. A successful sleep study produces results called a polysomnogram, which will be interpreted by a physician trained to make a diagnosis and get you on the path toward an appropriate treatment plan.

If you’re having trouble sleeping at night, you may have a number of sleep problems. Sleep disorders are largely under diagnosed in the United States. Many people never seek out medical treatment, assuming that insomnia and excessive daytime sleepiness cannot be helped. But insomnia, sleep deprivation and excessive daytime sleepiness are usually symptoms of much more serious underlying conditions. Even loud snoring can be a symptom of a harmful condition called obstructive sleep apnea. If any of these symptoms are causing you to get poor quality rest every night, then schedule an appointment at a sleep center. A simple sleep study will be able to detect sleep apnea and other sleep disorders and get you closer to a good night’s rest, literally, overnight!
