About Sleep Studies

A sleep study (polysomnography) is an important step in determining whether your snoring problem is minor or should be treated right away.

If our doctor determines that you need a sleep study, he will refer you to an accredited sleep lab where you will stay overnight in a comfortable, private room. As you sleep, technicians in a separate room will monitor and record a complete profile of your sleep patterns, including your breathing, heart rate and rhythm, oxygen levels and movement patterns. This information is collected from sensors that are applied to your skin at various locations. The sensors are comfortable and allow easy movement.

Once this information is collected and analyzed at the sleep lab, your doctor will review the results and use them to determine the most appropriate treatment to resolve your snoring problem.
