"For example, a patient with heart failure may have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep due to shortness of breath, but this is not very difficult to detect. In these patients, internal problems are first investigated, then neurological problems are differentiated and finally the patient is evaluated psychiatrically." He gave the following information about the method that investigates neurological sleep problems:
"The method that investigates neurological sleep problems is 'PSG', in other words 'polysomnography'. PSG stands for 'Multiple Sleep Test'. In this test, the patient is examined during a whole night's sleep. At the end of this, neurological causes are investigated and finally a differential diagnosis is made. After the cause is identified, treatment is started accordingly."
