What is a sleep study and why do we need sleep studies? Dr Krystel Skilton at the SleepWise Clinic explains..
Hi there, I'm Dr Krystel and I'm here today to tell you a little bit more about a polysomnogram and what it is. A polysomnogram is otherwise known as a sleep study. It monitors the various physiological changes in your brain and body during sleep. Basically, it monitors what your body is doing while you're sleeping. A sleep study helps doctors to investigate and diagnose for a variety of sleep disturbances such as obstructive sleep apnoea, narcolepsy and restless legs syndrome. It is a non-invasive test. It can be either done in the laboratory, usually at a hospital, or at home as a home-based test.
