Have you ever wondered what happens to your body and mind while you’re asleep? Many of us go through life with a vague understanding that sleep is essential, but the specifics often remain a mystery. That’s where sleep studies come in. At Florida Lung, Asthma & Sleep Specialists (FLASS), we offer sleep study appointments, a fascinating exploration into the intricacies of your sleep patterns.

• Decoding Your Sleep with Polysomnogram (NPSG)

A sleep study, also known as a polysomnogram (NPSG), is a comprehensive test that delves into various aspects of your physical state during different sleep stages and wakefulness. It examines factors such as breathing, heart rate, snoring, sleep stages, and body movements, offering a holistic view of your sleep behaviour.

• Tailored Solutions with Different Sleep Studies

FLASS offers five main types of sleep studies, each designed to address specific sleep-related concerns. From Nocturnal Polysomnograms (NPSG) that monitor overnight activities to Home Sleep Studies (HST) conducted in the comfort of your home, we tailor our approach to meet your unique needs.

• Understanding Split Night Studies for Sleep Apnea

For those being tested for sleep apnea, we can do home sleep study (HST), in lab sleep study and at times a Split Night Studies (CPAP).Split NPSG is a study where half the night is dedicated to diagnosing the sleep problem, while the other half focuses on initiating treatment. It’s a comprehensive approach to addressing sleep apnea and ensuring effective solutions.

• Unraveling Daytime Sleepiness with MSLT and MWT

Our Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) and Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) are day-time studies that help rule out conditions like Narcolepsy and assess your alertness levels. These tests serve crucial roles, especially in situations like employment or FAA requirements.

• Convenience at Your Doorstep

With our Home Sleep Studies (HST), you can undergo a sleep study from the comfort of your home using portable monitoring devices. It’s a convenient option that doesn’t compromise on the depth of data collected, including oxygen levels, heart rate, and air flow.

• A Night in the Sleep Lab

Once you arrive at our sleep center, a brief introduction and a questionnaire about your sleep set the stage. Changing into nightclothes, you’ll be connected to electrodes painlessly applied with water-soluble glue and tape. While you sleep, our trained technicians monitor brain waves, muscle movement, and other vital parameters, ensuring minimal disruption to your sleep.

Beginning a sleep study journey might feel overwhelming, but rest assured, most participants find it surprisingly comfortable. The results, available within a week, pave the way for tailored treatments if needed. Our Sleep Coordinator will guide you through the findings, collaborating with your physician to ensure you receive the best possible care.
