What is a Sleep Test (Polysomnography)?
A Sleep Test is a comprehensive medical evaluation that collects vital data about your body’s functions while you sleep. By monitoring your breathing, heart rate, blood oxygen levels, body movements, and brain activity, doctors can accurately diagnose and evaluate sleep disorders, especially Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).
Who Should Consider a Sleep Test?
You may be at risk of “sleep apnea” and should consider taking a sleep test if you experience more than three of the following symptoms or risk factors:
💤 Loud or chronic snoring
🥱 Feeling excessively fatigued or sleepy during the day
🛑 Someone has noticed that you stop breathing or gasp while sleeping
🩸 High blood pressure
🎂 Age over 50 years
📏 Neck circumference greater than 41 cm (for females) or 43 cm (for males)
⚖️ Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 35
