There are diff types of PSG , depending on the number of signals we assess in the test at night. The choice of the type of test depends on the main complaints- is it snoring and choking and a high chance of OSA- then a type 3 ( limited channel testing) is also ok, but for those with suspected parasomnia, narcolepsy, pLMD etc a l type 1 study will be required.
