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.
