polysomnography ( level 1)
Level 1 Sleep Study
Level 1 sleep study (Polysomnography) is the same as a level 2, except a level 1 only takes place in a sleep lab and is always observed in real-time by a Certified Polysomnographic Technolgist With the exception of the ability to diagnose REM Sleep Behaviour Disorder, the monitoring and testing capabilities do not vary from a level 2 to a level 1 sleep study.
Who Should Have a Level 1 Sleep Study?
Like a level 2, those who suffer from poor sleep but are not at risk for sleep apnea, and those who are unsure of the cause of their poor sleep are best suited for a level 1 sleep study.
If it is suspected that you may suffer from other, more serious sleep-related conditions, your doctor may also recommend a level 1. Those who complete a level 1 sleep study should be comfortable with the idea of sleeping in a lab environment and under the supervision of Expert Sleep Technologist.
