There are four kinds of In-lab sleep studies, including:

  • Diagnostic overnight PSG: General monitoring of sleep and a variety of body functions during sleep, including breathing patterns, oxygen levels in blood, heart rythms, and limb movements
  • Diagnostic daytime multiple sleep latency test (MSLT): Sleep Study, Sleep Test The MSLT is used to diagnose narcolepsy and to measure the degree of daytime sleepiness. It measures how quickly you fall asleep in quiet situations during the day. It also monitors how quickly and how often you enter REM sleep. To ensure accurate results, it is performed on the monitoring following a diagnostic overnight PSG
  • Two-night evaluation PSG and CPAP titration: CPAP (continuos positive airway pressure) is a sleep apnea treatment that involves the delivery of air flow into the airways through a specially designed nasal mask. On the first night of the two-night protocol, general monitoring and diagnostic evaluation is conducted. If sleep apnea is discovered, the patient returns for a second night to determine the necessary CPAP pressure required to alleviate apnea.
  • Split-night PSG with CPAP titration: Split-night PSG is conducted when moderate or severe sleep apnea has been discovered or strongly suspected during the first part of the night's study. The second half of the night is used to determine the necessary CPAP pressure required to alleviate apnea.

EEG (Electroencephalogram

Is a test that detects electrical activity in your brain using small, flat metal discs (electrodes) attached to your scalp. Your brain cells communicate via electrical impulses and are active all the time, even when you're asleep. This activity shows up as wavy lines on an EEG recording, which is useful in diagnosing various medical conditions.

Routine EEG

Typically lasts 20-30 minutes. Routine EEG is normally used in clinical circumstances where short measurement is sufficient (for example, distinguishing epileptic seizure from other types of seizures or to evaluate coma).

Sometimes a routine EEG is not enough. This most often happens when there's need to record a patient while they are having a seizure. In these cases Long term EEG is being used. It means, the patient stays in the hospital for several days, while EEG is constantly being recorded. Normally EEG is synchronized with video and audio. A recording of an actual seizure offers valuable information about whether or not there is an epileptic seizure. Long term EEG is also the focus in the brain from where the seizure activity emanates

Longterm Video EEG

In lab study lasts 24 to 72 hours.

Ambulatory Video EEG

Hook ups at home lasting 24 to 72 hours.

Please be on time for your appointment. Due to the length of the setup and recording, if you arrive late, we will need to reschedule the appointment.

An EEG is a recording of the brain’s electrical activity. This is done by placing electrodes (small metal cups) on the head with paste or gel. There are no needles, nothing that sticks or hurts.

Sleep Study (Polysomnogram)

  • A sleep study or polysomnogram (PSG) is a test that electronically transmits and records specific physical activities while you sleep. The recordings become data that are analyzed by a qualified sleep specialist to determine if you have a sleep disorder.
