Dec. 15, 2010 - PRLog -- To provide the public with the latest advances in Sleep Medicine a new delivery system had to be designed.  Comprehensive Sleep Wellness is pleased to announce a new delivery system is in place with the new Comprehensive Sleep Wellness web site, http://www.comprehensivesleepwellness.com.

Chocked full of information about all aspects sleep, and answers about problems related to dysfunctional sleep issues, the new Comprehensive Sleep Wellness website is designed to inform and educate, allowing you to achieve the quality of life that comes from a good night's sleep.

Why have a sleep study?

Because of concerns you and your physician may have regarding the amount and quality of sleep you are getting at night, a polysomnography (PSG), or sleep study, has been requested. This study will allow your physician to get information about your sleeping patterns and identify any problems you may have.

For some people, sleep disorders contribute to serious conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure. By undergoing a sleep study, you can get the help you need for a better night’s sleep and possibly lessen your risk for serious health complications.

You may qualify for a sleep study if:

   * You wake up in the morning sleepy

   * You wake up gasping or snorting

   * Your partner has complained of your snoring

   * You have a history of seizures or epilepsy

   * You suffer from depression, irritability, fatigue or other worrisome symptoms during the day

During a sleep study many of your body’s physiological activities will be recorded. These include: brain/electrical impulse activity, eye movements, muscle activity in your chin and legs, breathing effort, airflow from your nose and mouth, and heart rate. Just about everything that relates to how your body functions and moves during sleep will appear on your polysomnogram. This recording will then be reviewed by a board certified sleep specialist and a report will be made for your doctor to review.
