Equipped with modern technology, the Sleep Laboratory at LOR Hospital accurately monitors brain activity, heart rate, breathing patterns, oxygen levels, and other vital functions during sleep through polysomnography. This helps determine the cause of sleep disorders and develop an effective treatment plan.
Polysomnography monitors:
• Brain activity (EEG) – to determine sleep stages
• Eye movements (EOG) – monitoring REM and non-REM sleep
• Muscle tone (EMG) – analyzing movements during sleep
• Airflow and respiratory effort – detecting sleep apnea
• Oxygen levels (SpO₂) – monitoring oxygen in the blood
• Heart activity (ECG) – detecting rhythm disturbances
Indications:
• Suspected snoring and sleep apnea
• Excessive daytime sleepiness
• Sleep-related movement or behavioral disorders
• Narcolepsy, parasomnia
• Patients with disturbed sleep patterns or quality
Note: This test is usually conducted overnight in a specialized sleep laboratory.
