Good Sleep is a vital part for better health.
For centuries humans have struggled to sleep well. Scientific evidence shows that there is a close relationship between sleep disorders and the most common diseases like heart disease, hypertension, depression, morbid obesity and dementia.
Fortunately, today there are alternatives to prevent, diagnose and treat most sleep disorders. A polysomnography is the "Gold Standard" test to diagnose and it could be the first step to control other related conditions. Obstructive sleep apnea, insomnia, restless leg syndrome and narcolepsy are some of the disorders that can be diagnosed during a sleep study.
But... What is a polysomnography?
A polysomnography is a sleep study that can be performed either at a sleep center facility or at home. If done in the sleep center, patient will complete a medical interview upon arrival, then will stay overnight in a comfortable room with all the amenities of a small hotel. During the study, vital signs will be recorded and if needed treatment will be provided.
