Why is a polysomnogram considered the “gold standard” for assessing sleep, compared to other methods?
What will be an ideal response?
A polysomnogram is objective and provides multiple measurements of sleep including brain activity, eye movements, muscle activation, and heart rhythm. As such, it can accurately assess sleep duration and quality and detect abnormalities in sleep architecture and breathing during sleep. This is more objective than parental or child report and more comprehensive than use of an actometer.
