• Voice and continuous snoring
• Breathing periods during breathing and breathing hunger
• Resting sleep

The sleep test is also used to diagnose other sleep disorders.

• Narcolepsy (daytime, deep sleep attacks)
• Fainting with sleep (seizure)
• Restless Legs Syndrome
• Chronic insomnia (difficulty falling asleep)
• REM sleep behavior disorders (sleepwalker)

The national heart, lung and blood institute warns that untreated sleep disorders increase the risk of heart attack, high blood pressure and stroke.

People with sleep apnea stop breathing during sleep. This can wake up dozens or even hundreds of times during the night. The duration of breathing may be as short as 10 seconds. Most patients do not remember waking up. A sleep test is needed to diagnose sleep apnea. Sleep-related breathing problems are most commonly seen in men, in overweight people, and in older adults. People with sleep apnea often benefit from treatment called positive airway pressure. This treatment keeps the airway open by providing air pressure through a mask attached to the nose during sleep.
