Sleep Study
Sleep Study
A sleep study, or polysomnography, is a safe, non-invasive test that records your body’s activity while you sleep to identify the cause of poor sleep and ongoing fatigue.
At Coastal Ear, Nose and Throat, we help patients in Holmdel, NJ and surrounding communities get accurate diagnoses and personalized treatment for sleep disorders.
What Is a Sleep Study?
A sleep study monitors key body functions overnight to evaluate how well you sleep and breathe.
During the test, we track:
- Brain waves
- Heart rate
- Breathing patterns
- Oxygen levels
- Body movements
This data helps diagnose common sleep conditions such as:
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea
- Insomnia
- Narcolepsy
