Sleep Studies
Sleep studies provide a complete evaluation of your sleep. Your care provider will painlessly monitor your brain activity, heart rate, breathing, muscle activity, snoring and oxygen levels while you are asleep. In most cases, you will stay overnight at MaineHealth Pulmonology Critical Care and Sleep Medicine Sleep Lab Brunswick. Some patients with suspected sleep apnea may instead receive equipment to perform an at-home test.
Sleep studies may be used to:
- Test for sleep-related breathing disorders such as sleep apnea
- Evaluate sleep behaviors
- Diagnose conditions such as narcolepsy
- Review and test pressure levels for patients receiving CPAP therapy
Testing may also include an electroencephalogram (EEG) to monitor your brain activity or an electrocardiogram (EKG) to monitor your heart activity. Daytime studies are also available, which can be beneficial to shift workers who normally sleep during the day.
