Abstract

Polysomnography and measurements of physiologic sleepiness (MSLT/MWT) have been established as effective and safe in identifying many sleep/wake disorders, and have identified and defined a number of specific conditions such as SDB, narcolepsy, idiopathic CNS hypersomnia, periodic movements of sleep, and the REM sleep behavior disorder. The performance of these studies requires specialized equipment and accommodations. This technology, coupled with other clinical information and appropriate medical tests, particularly in experienced hands, is valuable in the diagnosis, classification, and treatment of patients with sleep disorders.
