What is a sleep study/polysomnography?

A sleep study, or polysomnography, is a painless procedure that enables the doctors to determine if a patient is suffering from sleep apnea, and which treatment is most suitable. The study is covered by most insurance companies, and is the first step in treating sleep apnea.

Why should I get a sleep study?

Your sleep is meant to restore your energy so you can be alert and effective during the day. However, if you fail to get proper sleep you may experience daytime sleepiness such as: a strong urge to take naps, falling asleep during meetings, fighting to stay awake on your drive home from work; this can severely impact your ability to function during the day.

What happens on the night of the study?

Once you arrive at the sleep lab, you will be shown to your private room and asked to change into your bed clothes. The technician will then spend about 20 minutes attaching leads (wires) to your head, face, chest and legs. (This is absolutely painless and un-invasive) These leads will then be connected to a monitoring box (head box).

How Do You Know if You Have Sleep Apnea?

The first thing to do is take the sleep apnea self-test. If the result shows that you might have sleep apnea, you should see a sleep specialist and make an appointment for a sleep study.
