A member asked:
Can a 24 hr eeg be used to detect a sleep disorder? can it tell if you dont go into all stages of sleep including rem sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The 24 hour EEG: is NOT a good "tool" for studying sleep abnormalities ...it is generally use in the diagnosis and treatment of seizure disorders...REM sleep is diagnosed by EYE MOVEMENT WITH a specific EEG wave type......Hope this is helpful Dr Z
