A member asked:
What is the age limit for having a polysomnography?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No age limit: There is no age limit for a sleep study that i've ever heard of. Anyone with excessive daytime sleepiness or with witnessed cessation of breathing while sleeping should have a sleep study. If abnormal, they would likely benefit from good sleeping habits, loss of weight if overweight and cpap.
