Lab
Morrow County Hospital's
Sleep Lab offers complete sleep testing close to home in a home-like atmosphere.
A physician suspecting an
individual of having a sleep disorder would normally order a
Polysomnogram (PSG). A PSG is a painless overnight test that
continuously records a broad range of physiological factors such
as: brain wave activity, eye movements, snoring, muscle
activity, heart rate and rhythm, nasal airflow, breathing depth
and blood oxygen saturation. A continuous infrared video records
body positioning and movements during the test.
The Sleep Lab’s dedicated staff
will work with you to schedule and perform your sleep study,
answer any questions and follow-up as needed to help you get a
good night’s sleep.
Millions of people who have sleep
disorders may think it is normal to feel sleepy during the day
or to have restless or sleepless nights. A good night’s sleep
makes your feel refreshed and awake.
