What is a Sleep Disorder?

How do I know if I might be suffering from Sleep Apnea?
Sleep Apnea is a potential sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts. Obstructive Sleep Apnea happens when your upper airway becomes blocked many times while you sleep, reducing or completely stopping airflow. This pattern can repeat itself 5 to 30 times or more each hour all night, thereby making it hard to reach the deep restful phases of sleep.

How are Sleep Disorders Diagnosed?
Sleep Apnea Testing:
Based on the symptoms and history of your sleeping patterns, a specialist might recommend an overnight sleep study known as Polysomnography. This test monitors your sleep, involves sensors that monitor your heart rate, breathing, blood oxygen levels, brain waves and more. This test is considered as the gold standard for diagnosing Sleep Apnea.
Sleep Lab at THANC Hospital

What we monitor during a Sleep Study
These measurements are recorded on a continuous graph throughout the night by trained technicians to identify transitions between sleep stages. Any disruptions like sleep apnea, limb movements, or other sleep disorders will also be observed. This will help design a plan for treatment and lifestyle management.
