Sleep disorder diagnosis is based on clinical expertise, scientific knowledge, and accurately applied diagnostic studies.

A Polysomnogram is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure used by sleep disorder specialists to obtain information about a patient's physiological status during sleep. A polysomnogram is also referred to as a "sleep test" or "sleep study."

During a sleep study, a patient's vital signs and physiology are recorded during a night of sleep. Measurements include brain activity (EEG), muscle activity (EMG), eye movement (EOG), heart activity (EKG), respiratory airflow, blood oxygen saturation, pulse rate, body position, and respiratory effort.
