Your doctor will observe you as you sleep, record data about your sleep patterns, and identify any sleep disorders. Your doctor will measure the following during PSG to help chart your sleep cycles:<\/p><p><i class=\"fa fa-plus-square\"><\/i>\u00a0brain waves<\/p><p><i class=\"fa fa-plus-square\"><\/i>\u00a0skeletal muscle activity<\/p><p><i class=\"fa fa-plus-square\"><\/i>\u00a0blood oxygen levels<\/p><p><i class=\"fa fa-plus-square\"><\/i>\u00a0heart rate<\/p><p><i class=\"fa fa-plus-square\"><\/i>\u00a0breathing rate<\/p><p><i class=\"fa fa-plus-square\"><\/i>\u00a0eye movement<\/p><p>PSG registers your body&#8217;s shifts between the two stages of sleep, which are rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and non-rapid eye movement (non-REM) sleep. Non-REM sleep is divided into &#8220;light sleep&#8221; and &#8220;deep sleep&#8221; phases.<\/p><p>During REM sleep, your brain activity is high, but only your eyes and breathing muscles are active. This is the stage in which you dream. Non-REM sleep involves slower brain activity. A person without a sleep disorder will switch between non-REM and REM sleep about every 90 minutes, experiencing four to six sleep cycles per night.<\/p><p>Observing your sleep cycles, along with your body&#8217;s reactions to the changes in these cycles, can help identify disruptions in your sleep patterns.<\/p><h4 class=\"myhead\">Why Do I Need A Polysomnography<\/h4><p>Your doctor can use PSG to diagnose sleep disorders. It often evaluates for symptoms of sleep apnea, a disorder in which breathing constantly stops and restarts during sleep. The symptoms of sleep apnea include:<\/p><p><i class=\"fa fa-plus-square\"><\/i>\u00a0sleepiness during the day despite having rested<\/p><p><i class=\"fa fa-plus-square\"><\/i>\u00a0ongoing and loud snoring<\/p><p><i class=\"fa fa-plus-square\"><\/i>\u00a0periods of holding your breath during sleep, which are followed by gasps for air<\/p><p><i class=\"fa fa-plus-square\"><\/i>\u00a0frequent episodes of waking up during the night<\/p><p><i class=\"fa fa-plus-square\"><\/i>\u00a0restless sleep<\/p><p>Polysomnography can also help your doctor diagnose the following sleep disorders:<\/p><p><i class=\"fa fa-plus-square\"><\/i>\u00a0narcolepsy, which involves extreme drowsiness and &#8220;sleep attacks&#8221; during the day<\/p><p><i class=\"fa fa-plus-square\"><\/i>\u00a0sleep-related seizure disorders<\/p><p><i class=\"fa fa-plus-square\"><\/i>\u00a0periodic limb movement disorder or restless leg syndrome, which involves uncontrolled flexing and extension of the legs while asleep<\/p><p><i class=\"fa fa-plus-square\"><\/i>\u00a0REM sleep behavior disorder, which involves acting out dreams while asleep<\/p><p><i class=\"fa fa-plus-square\"><\/i>\u00a0chronic insomnia, which involves having difficulty falling asleep or remaining asleep<\/p><p>The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) warns that if sleep disorders go untreated, they raise your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke. There&#8217;s also a link between sleep disorders and an increased risk of injuries related to falling and car accidents.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Polysomnography What Is A Polysomnography Polysomnography (PSG) is a study or test done while you&#8217;re fully asleep.
