Sleep Lab -

Sleep studies are used to diagnose problems of excessive fatigue, sleepiness, snoring, or restless sleep. Patients are monitored while they sleep for brain wave patterns, eye movements, muscle tension, air flow and respiratory effort, oxygen levels and heart beat.

Irregular sleep patterns may contribute to overweight. The latest research on sleep deprivation shows a definite link between appetite control and lack of sleep, caused by hormonal changes. To find out if you could have a sleep disorder, contact the MGHS sleep lab.

You can obtain a more information on a sleep diary on the National Sleep Foundation. You can also call the MGHS sleep Lab at 906-225-3565 or 1-800-562-9753, extension 3565 for more information.
