Sleep Staging Analysis

Meaning

A detailed, objective clinical methodology, typically involving polysomnography (PSG), used to precisely categorize and quantify the different physiological states of sleep, including Wakefulness, Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) stages (N1, N2, N3), and Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep. This analysis provides critical insight into sleep quality, restorative capacity, and potential underlying sleep disorders. Optimal sleep staging is vital for hormonal regulation and cognitive consolidation.
