A sleep study allows physicians to learn a great deal about how your child's brain and body behaves does during a night of sleep. As your child sleeps in a comfortable, controlled environment, different equipment allows technologists and physicians to monitor brain activity, muscle activity, breathing, blood oxygen levels and eye movement. Successful treatment of a sleep problem, such as sleep apnea, sleep terrors or narcolepsy, often depends on the detailed picture derived from these measurements.
The walkthough photo gallery below is intended to help parents and children learn about, and prepare for, a sleep study.
