If your snoring causes you to wake up with a loud snort or gasp several

times during the night, you may have a form of sleep apnea, a serious

condition that can cause breathing to stop.

What is a Sleep Study?

The most common sleep study is an “all

night” sleep test called a

Polysomnogram.

This test will record your brain and muscle

activity, eye movements, breathing and oxygen saturation.

Additionally, most sleep studies will include a

Multiple Sleep Latency Test to measure how long it

takes for you to fall asleep.

Maintenance Wakefulness Test is used to measure whether or not you can stay awake

during the normal hours you are awake.

Getting a good night’s sleep is very important to

your health;

The good news is, the cost for sleep study is usually

covered by insurance.

So do not hesitate to have yourself evaluated if you suspect you have a

sleep disorder.
