😴 Sleep Study (Polysomnography)

Understanding Your Sleep to Improve Your Health

Do you snore loudly, wake up tired, or feel excessively sleepy during the day? A Sleep Study at V-Medica Clinics can help uncover hidden sleep disorders that may be affecting your overall health and quality of life.

🧠 What is a Sleep Study?

A Sleep Study, also known as Polysomnography, is a comprehensive diagnostic test that records your brain activity, breathing patterns, heart rate, oxygen levels, and body movements while you sleep. It helps detect sleep disorders like:

  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

  • Insomnia

  • Restless Legs Syndrome

  • Narcolepsy

  • Sleepwalking or abnormal sleep behaviors

❓ When Should You Consider a Sleep Study?

You may need a sleep study if you experience:

  • Loud snoring or choking/gasping during sleep

  • Daytime fatigue or sleepiness despite a full night’s rest

  • Morning headaches

  • Difficulty concentrating or memory problems

  • Irregular breathing or pauses in breathing during sleep

  • Mood changes or irritability

  • High blood pressure not responding to treatment

🔍 What Happens During the Test?

At V-Medica Clinics, your sleep study is conducted in a quiet, comfortable environment, usually overnight. During the test, sensors monitor:

  • Brain waves (EEG)

  • Eye movements

  • Breathing rate and effort

  • Heart rate (ECG)

  • Oxygen saturation (SpO2)

  • Muscle activity

  • Snoring sounds and body position

We also offer Home Sleep Study options for eligible patients who prefer the test in the comfort of their home
