Do you wake up feeling tired despite getting enough sleep? Do you snore loudly, wake up frequently, or notice breathing pauses during sleep? These symptoms may indicate Obstructive Sleep Apnea or another sleep-related breathing disorder.
Understanding Polysomnography and how it evaluates your sleep.
A Sleep Study, also known as Polysomnography,
is a specialized diagnostic test used to evaluate your sleep patterns, breathing,
oxygen levels, heart rate, and body movements while you sleep.
It is one of the most reliable methods for diagnosing sleep-related breathing
disorders, particularly Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
The information collected during the study helps your doctor determine the cause
of your sleep problems and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
Your doctor may recommend a Sleep Study if you experience:
Loud, persistent snoring
Breathing pauses during sleep
Gasping or choking while sleeping
Excessive daytime sleepiness
Morning headaches
Difficulty concentrating
Poor-quality sleep
Frequent nighttime awakenings
Uncontrolled high blood pressure with snoring
Chronic fatigue despite adequate sleep
A Sleep Study helps diagnose or evaluate:
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
Central Sleep Apnea
Sleep-related breathing disorders
Chronic snoring
Nocturnal oxygen desaturation
Sleep-related movement disorders (in selected cases)
Other sleep disturbances requiring specialist evaluation
The procedure is safe, painless, and non-invasive.
Small sensors are placed on your body to monitor various functions while you sleep.
Your breathing pattern, oxygen level, heart rate, and sleep stages are recorded.
The information is analyzed to identify interruptions in breathing and other abnormalities.
Depending on your condition, the study may be performed in a dedicated sleep laboratory or through a home sleep testing device, if clinically appropriate.
No. A Sleep Study is completely non-invasive and does not involve injections,
surgery, or painful procedures.
The sensors are attached externally and are removed after the test is completed.
Most patients tolerate the procedure well.
For the most accurate results, you may be advised to:
Dr. Sonia Dalal carefully reviews your Sleep Study report along with your symptoms and medical history.
The results help determine whether Sleep Apnea is present, assess the severity of the condition, and guide discussion about appropriate treatment options.
Whether you have Sleep Apnea.
The severity of the condition.
Frequency of breathing interruptions.
Oxygen level changes during sleep.
Appropriate treatment options.
A personalized treatment plan will be discussed with you.
If a sleep-related breathing disorder is diagnosed, treatment may include:
Weight management, regular exercise, sleeping position changes, and avoiding alcohol or sedatives before bedtime.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is one of the most effective treatments for moderate to severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
Treatment of nasal allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions that may contribute to poor sleep.
Regular follow-up helps monitor your progress and ensures effective management of your condition.
Our focus is on helping patients achieve better sleep, healthier breathing, and improved quality of life.
