Research/Comments: Sleep: The Musical Instrument
http://www.sleep-tests.co.uk/polysomnography.php
The PSG or polysomnogram, as the test is referred to, measures or monitors many body functions including the eye movements (EOG), brain (EEG), heart rhythm (ECG), skeletal muscle activation (EMG), and breathing or respiratory effort during sleep
Usually at least 11 channels (wires) to the patient's head, takes 1-2 hours to set up.
Of the eleven channels, two are for EEG - to determine if the person is indeed sleeping and in what stage of sleep he/she is at a given time - one channel to measure air flow, one channel each to sense chin and leg movements, two channels to measure REM, one channel each for EKG and oxygen saturation, and one for recording the chest and abdominal wall movements. All these channels are then wired to a computer where it is deciphered into readable attributes and stored for future reference or record. A live video of the sleeping patient is also recorded so that the supervising technician could observe the patient from an adjacent room. The same clips may also be used by the doctor for further diagnosis of the patient. Despite all the wires attached to the patient, interestingly, it has been found that few patients ever have any problems sleeping whilst under observation. Most of them stated they even slept better in the lab than at home.
