Sleep studies
It can be easy to dismiss sleeplessness as "a part of getting older," but studies show lack of sleep can deeply and negatively impact your health. So sleep studies to diagnose sleep issues can be a useful and valuable tool.
A sleep study, also known as polysomnography, is an evaluation of physical and brain activity that occurs during sleep. Brain waves, eye and leg movements, heart rate and oxygen levels are all recorded and measured during this exam. Sleep studies can confirm the type of sleep disorder you have. For example, someone experiencing what appears to be insomnia may actually have sleep apnea.
