Sleep Study
Polysomnography, commonly called a sleep study, is a test that is used to diagnose sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy, insomnia, and restless legs syndrome. Our sleep studies are performed overnight in the Sleep Center at Galion Hospital – a safe, private, home-like environment that is accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
During your sleep study, our specially-trained sleep technologists will attach sensors to your body to monitor your brain waves, muscle movements, eye movements, breathing, snoring, heart rate, and the level of oxygen in your blood while you sleep. A typical sleep study produces approximately 1,000 pages of data to be reviewed, providing an in-depth look at your sleep patterns. The results are analyzed by a board-certified sleep medicine doctor and discussed with you at an appointment following your sleep study.
If you’re interested in having a sleep study to diagnose and treat your sleep problems, you can requests a referral from your primary care doctor or make a self-referral by scheduling an appointment with our sleep medicine doctor.
