dr. Lisa Silvani Sleeps trouble is increasingly becoming a problem that has been resolved especially in urban communities. The busy work and daily activities that are increasingly paying off make many people choose to stay up late even in the early hours of the morning cursing to finish as they should. But this certainly brings new problems because disturbed sleep can also interfere with a person’s level of productivity and health. The first step that must be taken is knowing whether you have sleep disorders or not.
Then, when do you know that you have sleep disorders or not?
- Consult a doctor
When you feel that there is a possibility that you have sleep disorders, the first step that should be taken is to consult a doctor who has experience to overcome sleep disorders. During the consultation process, doctors will generally give a series of questions and tests that you must answer to know your sleep and health conditions. Generally in those whose sleep disorders are severe enough, sometimes no other examination is needed and therapy can be done immediately. - Sleep Lab Examination
Sleep lab examination or Polysomnography perhaps the most sophisticated sleep disturbance examination available today. Generally a sleep lab examination is carried out if the symptoms of sleep disorders are not typical or there is a suspicion of sleep apnea, which is a sleep disturbance where the instantaneous breath stops. Sleep labs are generally covered for several hours of the day. The patient will do a test while sleeping where his brain, muscle, respiratory and heart rate activities will be recorded. Sleep lab results are very accurate and are able to detect many sleep disorders that are missed during a regular examination by a doctor.
Both examinations can be an option for those of you who want to know your health and sleep status. However, sleep is an important part that if disturbed will interfere with the overall health of the body.
