Sleep Medicine
What is a Sleep Study
Sleep study (also known as polysomnography or PSG) is a comprehensive test that involves monitoring various body activities and physiological parameters related to sleep and breathing. It provides vital information about sleep architecture and respiratory patterns experienced during sleep and is administered to either diagnose or rule out different types of sleep disorders.
How does a Sleep Study work?
A comfortable journey to sleeping better.
At The Sleep Cottage we use innovative technologies and sleep monitoring equipment that’s mainly wireless, so your child’s movements aren’t restricted, and they can settle in for a comfortable night. While there will be sensors and electrodes attached to their body (head, chest, abdomen, arms and legs), the procedure is non-invasive and painless.
All it takes is one night.
For almost 100% of our patients, one night at The Sleep Cottage is enough to perform a complete sleep study. Arrive with your child 5.30pm and go back home at 6.00 am in the morning. Return at a convenient appointment time to discuss the results and treatment options. It’s as simple as that!
