Best Answer

It is a sleep study which shows patterns other than those associated with normal sleep stages architecture. The lighter sleep stage is stage 2, and the deeper stages are 3 and 4, followed by a brief period of REM sleep, before the sleep cycle repeats itself. A healthy night's sleep typically includes five 90 minute sleep cycles.

A common abnormal sleep study is one which is associated with multiple apneic episodes, pointing to sleep apnea as a problem (which limits the body's ability to attain the deeper stages of sleep, hence the fatigue and sleepiness the next day despite the subjective perception that one has slept for eight hours or more).
