Sleep is closely connected to brain and nervous system function. When your sleep is disrupted or unrefreshing, it may be due to a neurologic sleep disorder - a condition affecting how your brain regulates rest, movement or breathing during sleep.
At Banner Health neurosciences, our neurologists use advanced sleep study testing (polysomnography) to help uncover the root cause of these problems and guide effective treatment.
A sleep study - also called polysomnography - is a detailed test that records how your brain and body behave while you sleep. Unlike general sleep testing, neurological sleep studies focus on how brain activity and nervous system signals contribute to your symptoms.
During the test, sensors monitor:
This information helps your care team identify neurologic causes of sleep problems such as:
Once your study is complete, your results are reviewed by neurologists and sleep specialists who analyze how your brain, muscles and respiratory system interact during sleep. Findings may include:
If a CPAP or other therapy is recommended, your team will guide you through the process and help you adjust to treatment.
At Banner Health neurosciences, your sleep evaluation and treatment plan are designed by a team of neurologists, sleep specialists and technologists who understand how the brain and nervous system influence sleep. Together, they’ll create a care plan tailored to your needs and coordinate with other Banner specialists as needed.
Our goal is to help you achieve restorative, healthy sleep that supports your brain function, energy and quality of life.
