At Poss Sleep Apnea & TMJ Solutions in Brentwood TN we provide effective relief for sleep apnea, and have helped countless patients get the restful and healthy sleep that everyone needs.
But before you can be treated for sleep apnea we need an accurate diagnosis, and that often includes a sleep study.
Sleep studies are a way of finding out what goes on in your brain and body as you sleep. The data that is gathered gives us a picture of your sleep patterns, and how it may be disrupted.
Sleep Studies
Sleep studies are often done in the controlled environment of a sleep lab. That may sound a little intimidating: very clinical and cold. But the rooms in a sleep lab are usually made to look like a hotel room, and patients are allowed to bring a few familiar items from home, like their toothbrush and robe, and something to read at bedtime.
But there is a clinical element, of course. Sensors are connected to different parts of the body with adhesive and elastic belts. These in turn connect to a computer that records information such as brain activity, heart and breathing rates, how often you roll over, and the different stages of sleep.
Later all the data is analyzed, and from it we can create a treatment plan.
There are also at-home versions of sleep studies.
