Getting quality sleep is essential for overall health, yet millions struggle with sleep problems without realizing the potential risks. At GlobalPrime Healthcare, Jaipur’s trusted center for sleep and respiratory wellness, we provide advanced sleep studies (polysomnography) and comprehensive care to diagnose and treat sleep disorders, helping you breathe better, sleep better, and live healthier.
What Is a Sleep Study?
A sleep study, medically known as polysomnography (PSG), is a diagnostic test that monitors multiple body functions while you sleep. According to Cleveland Clinic and Healthline:
“A sleep study records brain waves, heart rate, breathing, and other functions during sleep to help diagnose conditions like sleep apnea, insomnia, narcolepsy, and restless leg syndrome.”
Sleep studies can be performed at a sleep clinic, hospital, or sometimes at home under professional guidance.
What Does a Sleep Study Record?
During a medical sleep study, several vital parameters are monitored:
- Brain waves (EEG)
- Heart rate (ECG)
- Breathing patterns and effort
- Blood oxygen levels (SpO2)
- Eye and leg movements (EOG, EMG)
- Video recordings of your sleep behaviors
This data helps specialists diagnose and assess various sleep disorders.
Why Are Sleep Studies Important?
A sleep study helps:
1. Diagnose Sleep Disorders Accurately
Sleep studies identify conditions such as:
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)
- Insomnia
- Narcolepsy
- Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)
- Parasomnias, including sleepwalking and night terrors
2. Evaluate Treatment Effectiveness
If you are undergoing therapy for a sleep disorder, a sleep study can assess whether your treatment — such as CPAP/BiPAP therapy — is working effectively.
3. Prevent Long-Term Health Issues
Poor sleep or untreated disorders increase risks of:
- Heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke
- Diabetes and metabolic disorders
- Cognitive problems, mood disorders, and depression
The Science of Sleep: Somnology
Beyond medical sleep studies, the scientific study of sleep, called somnology, explores:
- Sleep physiology: Understanding how the body and brain function during different sleep stages.
- Restorative functions: How sleep helps repair tissues, grow muscles, and conserve energy.
- Brain health: Role of sleep in memory consolidation, learning, and neural reorganization.
- Sleep disorders: Investigating causes, effects, and treatments for conditions like sleep apnea, insomnia, and RLS.
Who Should Consider a Sleep Study?
A sleep study is recommended for individuals experiencing:
- Loud snoring, gasping, or choking during sleep
- Frequent awakenings or poor-quality sleep
- Daytime sleepiness or sudden sleep attacks
- Witnessed breathing pauses
- Morning headaches, dry mouth, or sore throat
- Difficulty concentrating or memory problems
