A few months ago I decided to have a sleep study done. There are a couple of different tests they perform and you need to stay overnight a few times. I dont have results yet so I dont know how effective it is, but here are a few of the tests they performed:
• Polysomnogram. This test records several body functions during sleep, including brain activity, eye movement, oxygen and carbon dioxide blood levels, heart rate and rhythm, breathing rate and rhythm, the flow of air through your mouth and nose, snoring, body muscle movements, and chest and belly movement.
• Multiple sleep latency test (MSLT). This test measures how long it takes you to fall asleep. A video camera is used to record movements during sleep.
• Multiple wake test (MWT). This test measures whether you can stay awake during a time when you are normally awake.
I have met several people who have gone thru this and it changed their life completely because the sleep study pinpoints the exact reason why you are not getting enough rest and corrects it either thru medication or assisted breathing apparatus.
I cant remember the last time I woke up feeling rested. I am always tired in the morning because I have been up too late. This should correct that. I will let you know if this works or not. I am in the 2nd phase of the testing this week.
