Sleep study: 

Sleeping is not a simple process. A few people (especially those who are obese)may have one or more pauses in breathing or “ shallow breaths” as they sleep. This is called as sleep apnoea.

Breathing pauses can last from a few seconds to almost a few minutes . This can disrupt your sleep as you move out from “deep sleep” to “light sleep” very often or even wake up from a good sleep because of choking.

This results in a poor sleep quality that makes you sleepy during the day. This problem is diagnosed with “sleep studies”

SLEEP STUDIES allows the doctor to measure how much and how well do you sleep.

This test can be done at your home using “a HOME BASED SLEEP STUDY with PORTABLE MONITOR”

A Technician can visit you home, attach the machine to your body just before you sleep and leave. the monitor will record your sleepover the night. 

The technician will come in the morning and take a print of the record. These records will be interpreted by your chest physician and you will be advised accordingly.

PRIOR APPOINTMENT IS MANDATORY.
