SLEEP TEST (Sleep Efficiency Assessment): Evaluate Your Sleep Quality

If you or your bedmate experience any of these symptoms during sleep:

  • Snoring
  • Sleepwalking
  • Nightmares
  • Frightening dreams
  • Sleep-talking
  • Bruxism

These symptoms could indicate that you’re at risk of a sleep-related breathing disorder, which can be hazardous and lead to other health issues, potentially even fatal ones.

 

Thoroughly examine and meticulously analyze to pinpoint any abnormalities with precision.

A sleep test is a comprehensive evaluation of various physiological systems during sleep, encompassing the respiratory system, blood oxygen levels, brain’s electrical activity (ECG), and muscle activity. It is particularly valuable for detecting conditions like Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), including signs such as muscle twitching and unusual sleep behaviors like limb movement, teeth grinding, sleepwalking, nightmares, and frequent awakenings. The insights gained from this test can inform treatment strategies aimed at mitigating the risk of other potential health abnormalities, even life-threatening ones.

 

Select the appropriate treatment under the guidance of a specialist.

For a sleep health checkup, it’s essential to consult with a sleep specialist directly. Paolo Hospital Phaholyothin offers the expertise of doctors specialized in diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) along with a dedicated team trained in this field. The process typically involves a comprehensive medical history review and thorough physical examination, both before and after the tests, to explore alternative diagnostic approaches and treatment options.

 

Ease your concerns in a tranquil and soothing environment.

Before commencing the examination, our staff will inquire about your sleep-related information or provide you with a questionnaire to fill out, along with obtaining your consent for the test. Following that, we will thoroughly explain the equipment and the examination procedure. Our sleep examination room (Sleep Lab) is designed to be spacious, helping you feel at ease and comfortable in an unfamiliar environment. We use non-invasive monitoring tools to track various aspects of your body without causing any discomfort. The examination typically begins in the early evening, aligning with your usual bedtime, though the exact timing may vary based on individual preferences. We aim to provide uninterrupted sleep throughout the night. Our staff will set up the equipment, which will be removed upon waking in the morning, and then analyze the collected data. Further evaluation by a sleep specialist will follow. If you are interested in undergoing a sleep examination, you can schedule an appointment with the hospital in advance.
