Treatment characteristics

What is Polysomnography (Sleep Study)?
Polysomnography, also called a sleep study is a test used to diagnose and assess sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy, periodic limb movement disorder, insomnia, etc.
How is the procedure done and what is it for?
Polysomnography is a painless procedure and all you need to do is sleep. You may bring items you use for your bedtime routine such as pyjamas, bedroom slippers, etc to the sleep centre. 
A room will be prepared where you will be monitored and observed the entire night. The technicians will place several electrodes (on your head, temples, chest and chin) to monitor and control your heart and respiratory rate.
With the data recorded during the test, the specialist will be able to diagnose your disorder and give you the most appropriate treatment.
What recovery time do I need in Spain?
You only need to stay in Spain long enough to have the test done (carried out over 1 night) and obtain the results to start the treatment. No recovery is required.
