What are the other diagnostic advantages of Polysomnography?

Polysomnography allows doctors to track the different stages of sleep, called nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, which is associated with dreaming. The test can track other characteristics of your sleep, such as the number of times you awaken. It can also evaluate any abnormal sleeping behaviors, such as sleepwalking, nightmares, or periodic limb movement disorder. In addition, the study can evaluate various other sleeping disorders which include trouble falling or staying asleep (insomnia), breathing that stops during sleep (apnea), or a problem with falling asleep suddenly during the day (narcolepsy).
