diagnosis -
Methods
● Polysomnography (PSG): This is a lab sleep study that
evaluates oxygen levels, body movements, and brain
waves to determine how they disrupt sleep vs. home
sleep study (HST) that is performed in your own and is
used to diagnose sleep apnea.
● Electroencephalogram (EEG): This is a test that
assesses electrical activity in the brain and detects any
potential problems associated with this activity. It’s part
of a polysomnography.
● Multiple sleep latency test (MSLT): This daytime
napping study is used in conjunction with a PSG at night
to help diagnose narcolepsy.
