Why Get a Sleep Study
It's hard to underestimate the importance of sleep. It affects every single area of your life: physical, emotional, and psychological well-being.

A sleep study, also called a polysomnogram (PSG), is a non-invasive study conducted at a sleep center (usually) where sleep specialists monitor your sleeping. Your sleeping is monitored via PSG equipment in order to assess what kind of sleep quality you are getting and, where applicable, any sleep disorders you may be dealing with.
Sleep studies are important diagnostic tools for common sleep disorders like sleep apnea, insomnia, circadian and rhythm disorders. Sleep studies have proven to be particularly important in Alaska where the extreme darkness and lightness tend to either cause or worsen sleep disorders.

For many of us, the idea of having a sleep study is an exotic “wouldn’t that be interesting?” kind of thing. However, countless examples of recent research on the importance of sleep are bringing sleep studies into the mainstream. I personally know several people whose lives’ have been changed by sleep studies. Sleep quality is critical for everything from peak athlete performance to heart health to brain health.
Your sleep does not have to be a mystery. A sleep study is a reliable, scientific, and painless way to find out why you don't sleep as well as you would like. It gives you valuable insight into the process of how you sleep. But it doesn't just give you understanding. It can also provide you with answers. With the results, a sleep specialist will be able to develop a plan of treatment to help you finally get the kind of sleep you want and need.
