At Pulmonary and Medical Associates, we provide polysomnography, a non-invasive overnight sleep study used to diagnose a wide range of sleep disorders. These may include sleep apnea, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, narcolepsy, and more. Our board-certified sleep specialists perform evaluations in a calm, comfortable environment using advanced monitoring technology.
What Happens During a Polysomnography
During this overnight test, we monitor your sleep in a dedicated sleep lab. While you rest, we track important body functions including:
- Brain wave activity
- Eye movement
- Breathing rate and airflow
- Blood oxygen levels
- Heart rate and rhythm
- Muscle activity
- Body position
A trained sleep technologist observes your data in real time to ensure accuracy. This thorough process allows us to evaluate how your body functions during each stage of sleep.
Common Signs You May Need a Sleep Study
You may benefit from a sleep study if you experience:
- Loud snoring or choking during sleep
- Daytime fatigue or drowsiness
- Difficulty falling or staying asleep

Left untreated, sleep disorders can affect your energy, mood, memory, and long-term health.
