At Sahaj Hospital, we offer Polysomnography, commonly known as a sleep study, as a sophisticated diagnostic tool to evaluate and treat various sleep-related disorders. Conducted in our specialized, state-of-the-art sleep lab, this overnight test monitors essential physiological parameters to help our specialists identify the root causes of poor sleep quality.

What Happens During a Sleep Study?

To provide a complete picture of your sleep health, non-invasive sensors are attached to the body to record several key metrics simultaneously:

• Brain Activity (EEG): To track sleep stages (REM vs. non-REM).

• Respiratory Patterns: Monitoring breathing and blood oxygen levels.

• Cardiac Function: Tracking heart rate and rhythm.

• Physical Movement: Recording eye movements and muscle activity to detect restlessness.

Conditions Diagnosed at Sahaj Hospital

Our clinical team utilises these detailed recordings to diagnose a wide range of conditions, including:

• Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Frequent pauses in breathing during sleep.

• Narcolepsy: Excessive daytime sleepiness and sudden sleep attacks.

• Restless Leg Syndrome: Uncontrollable urges to move the legs.

• Insomnia & REM Behaviour Disorders: Identifying disruptions in the natural sleep cycle.

Split-Night Studies and Treatment

In certain cases, Sahaj Hospital performs a split-night study. This efficient approach allows our team to diagnose a condition (like sleep apnea) during the first half of the night and immediately begin testing treatment—such as a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine—during the second half.

While it may feel slightly unusual to sleep with sensors attached, the procedure is entirely painless. Our goal at Sahaj Hospital is to provide a comfortable environment that ensures we gather the data necessary to help you achieve a restful, healthy night's sleep.
