• Data is acquired utilizing state-of-the-art digital video technology.
• 3rd-shift workers are evaluated during daytime hours.
• Multiple Sleep Latency Tests (MSLT) are performed for suspected narcolepsy.

• Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and fatigue.
• Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
• Severe snoring.
• Narcolepsy
• Nocturnal myoclonus (periodic limb movements in sleep).
• Chronic insomnia.
• Nocturnal seizures.
• REM behavior disorder.
• Parasomnias, such as somnambulism (sleep walking), night terrors, and rhythmic movement disorder.

Monitors a variety of physiologic activities during an overnight evaluation. Using state-of-the-art equipment, the recording provides information about sleep stages, respiratory effort and airflow, heart rate, blood oxygen level, and limb movements. Superimposed video telemetry is used to simultaneously capture polysomnographic data with movements that may take the patient away from the bed, such as sleep walking.

Typically performed following an all-night polysomnogram (PSG) to evaluate excessive daytime sleepiness. Physiologic activity recordings include electroencephalogram (EEG), electrooculogram, chin muscle, and respirations. These recordings, performed at 1.5 to 2.0 hour intervals for 20-35 minutes, allow sleep latency and abnormalities of sleep onset to be determined. The MSLT is often necessary for diagnosis of narcolepsy or idiopathic hypersomnolence. It also provides objective verification of a patient's complaint of daytime sleepiness and assists in establishing proper treatment.
