44. sleep and wakefulness
a "polysomnogram" is used to measure a night of sleep. it is built out of:
- electroencephalogram (EEG) for brain activity
- electro-oculogram (EOG) for eye movement
- electromyogram (EMG) for muscle tone
in sleep disorder studies, respiration will often be tracked too.

I had to spend my Deipnon at the sleep centre getting a polysomnogram. 0/10, do not recommend. I slept like crap, because the guy they put in the next room was snoring like a chainsaw and the weight of the leads on my head was just too much. Tech woke me up at 5:30 AM, and politely told me to GTFO.

I had a follow-up call with my respiratory clinician this morning for my CPAP. She said my numbers look excellent - I've gone down from an AHI of 47.1 to 0.2.
I still have to go for my polysomnogram but I think my bariatric doctor is going to be happy.

you’ll want to talk to a sleep specialist first, if you don’t have sleep apnea and want to go for an IH diagnosis that requires an overnight polysomnogram plus a daytime MSLT (multi-sleep latency test) afterwards

Smartwatches have tracked sleep for years, but as we see more sleep coaching, energy scores, sleep apnea detection, and general AI analysis, it's fair to question how accurate a Pixel Watch's data is compared to, say, a polysomnogram or actigraphy watch.

Screening tool aids diagnoses of child sleep disorders
An EHR-based screening tool improved the diagnosis and referral rates for pediatric sleep disorders, according to a study in JAMA Network Open. The tool was used in 92.5% of well-child visits a year after implementation. Clinicians were 64% more likely to diagnose a sleep disorder when using the tool and about three to six times more likely to order a polysomnogram or refer to a sleep or otolaryngology specialist.

Diagnosed is an overnight polysomnogram followed by a MSLT where they check to see how long it takes you to fall asleep for naps and if you have intrusive REM cycles

Over night polysomnogram and 4 of the 5 naps for the multiple sleep latency test down. I’ve fallen asleep for each nap so far so it’ll be interesting to see the results if my sleep latency has changed and if I’ve reached REM at all during any of them. I remember dreaming but we’ll see what data says

After having our first taste of being a lab rat through a polysomnogram, it is truly fucked up that we didn't come out the other side with any weird robotic or monster parts. Like what's the POINT?

@ringworm.bsky.social I brought your book to the polysomnogram I don't think I need to test for the sleep apnea I don't think I have. It seemed appropriate.
