  1. Many diagnostic tests are available for persons suffering from the symptoms of sleep disorders, which may lead to a better knowledge of the problem. Let's talk about the possibilities. Polysomnography:  This is often recognized as the gold standard for sleep problem diagnosis. It entails a trip to a sleep center, which can take the form of specifically designated hospital rooms, a sleep laboratory, or even a properly outfitted hotel room. An overnight stay of a technician is required for these sleep investigations. Overnight Oximetry:  It is one of the easiest and, in most cases, earliest sleep investigations that can be performed. It entails the use of a probe that is worn on the finger or earlobe and measures oxygen levels and heart rate continually. This is done with a red light and a sensor that detects changes in the color of blood that could indicate desaturation.

  2. Sleep Latency Testing on Multiple Subjects: A nap study is also known as Multiple Sleep Latency Testing (MSLT). Its set up similarly to the polysomnogram (PSG) discussed before. An individual will have set nap intervals throughout the day after waking up. These happen every two hours on average. Sleep Diary: A sleep diary, often known as a sleep journal, can be helpful in determining circadian rhythm abnormalities or insomnia, especially when combined with actigraphy data. These can also be used to determine whether or not a child has a sleep disorder. Actigraphy: Actigraphy is the use of a tiny, wristwatch-sized instrument to measure activity. This gadget tracks movement and can be used to evaluate sleep- wake cycles, also known as circadian rhythms, across time. This device can be worn for weeks or sometimes for months at a time.
