They may not feel refreshed when they wake up. can be acute (short-term) or chronic (ongoing). Acute insomnia is common and often is brought on by situations such as stress at work, family pressures, or a traumatic event. Acute insomnia lasts for days or weeks.

 

Narcolepsy is a disorder that causes periods of extreme daytime sleepiness. The disorder also may cause muscle weakness.Most people who have narcolepsy have trouble sleeping at night. Some people who have the disorder fall asleep suddenly, even if they're in the middle of talking, eating, or another activity.

 

 

Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Obstructive sleep apnea , OSA is a sleep related breathing disorder that causes your  body to stop breathing during sleep.   OSA occurs when the tissue in the back of the throat collapses and blocks the airway. This keeps air from getting to the lungs. This is a very common sleep disorder. Blockage of the airway can happen a few times a night or several hundred times per night.

 

 

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a disorder that causes a strong urge to move your legs. This urge to move often occurs with strange and unpleasant feelings in your legs. Moving your legs relieves the urge and the unpleasant feelings.People who have RLS describe the unpleasant feelings as creeping, crawling, pulling, itching, tingling, burning, aching, or electric shocks. Sometimes, these feelings also occur in the arms.The urge to move and unpleasant feelings happen when you are resting and inactive. Thus, they tend to be worse in the evening and at night.

 

 

Periodic limb movement disorder is described as repetitive limb movements that occur during sleep and cause sleep disruption. The limb movements usually involve the lower extremities, consisting of extension of the big toe and flexion of the ankle, the knee, and the hip. In some patients, the limb movements can occur in the upper extremities as well.

 

 

A PSG usually is done while you stay overnight at a sleep center. A PSG records brain activity, eye movements, heart rate, and blood pressure. A PSG also records the amount of oxygen in your blood, how much air is moving through your nose while you breathe, snoring, and chest movements. The chest movements show whether you're making an effort to breathe.

 

 

This is similar to the PSG sleep study in addition to the CPAP/Bi-level therapy this is a study used to set the right level of continuous positive airway pressure for a person who has a type of sleep disorder breathing and will receive therapy.  

 

 

SPLIT Studies (Diagnostic / Treatment)

During the first half of the night your sleep is assessed to determine whether you have sleep apnea and if so, the severity will be determined.  During the second half of the night, you may be asked to use a CPAP machine.  A technician will adjust the settings on the machine so the flow of air therapeutic  for your sleep disorder breathing.

 

 

MSLT Studies (Night / Day Diagnostic)

This daytime sleep study measures how sleepy you are. It's typically done the day after a PSG. The MSLT records whether you fall asleep during the test and what types and stages of sleep you're having. Sleep has two basic types: rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM. Non-REM sleep has three distinct stages. REM sleep and the three stages of non-REM sleep occur in regular cycles throughout the night.  The types and stages of sleep you have during the day can help your doctor diagnose sleep disorders such as narcolepsy and idiopathic hypersomnia   .An MSLT is repeated four or five times throughout the day.  This is because your ability to fall asleep also changes throughout the day.

 

 

MWT Studies (Night / Day Diagnostic)

The Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) measures a person’s ability to stay awake in a quiet, dark and nonstimulating room for a period of time.  This test is usually given to a person receiving therapy for conditions causing daytime sleepiness which have been diagnosed i.e. sleep apnea.
