Disorder

Sleep

A sleep study is usually conducted to determine what, if any, specific sleep disorder you have. A patient is referred to a sleep study facility where a sleep tech will attach several electrodes on your head, behind your ears, below your shoulder and on your legs. This is done to monitor your pulse, snoring and breathing. While you are sleeping, the sleep tech is able to see and hear you via the camera and microphone placed in the room. All this is done to determine if sleep disorders are the cause of your restless and sleepless nights. There are over 84 classifications of sleep disorders that have been identified.
