Amelia Robson - What is polysomnography?

Amelia Robson, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website. Amelia's blog offers a detailed look into her work as a research assistant in sleep psychology, focusing on the use of Polysomnography (PSG) to study sleep disorders, particularly in people living with dementia. She explains the intricate process of setting up PSG in patients' homes, where she carefully attaches electrodes to monitor brain waves, heart rate, and breathing during sleep. Despite the technical challenges and the emotional responsibility of being on call overnight, Amelia finds her work deeply rewarding, appreciating the cooperation of her patients and the insights gained from PSG. The blog also provides practical advice for working with complex equipment, highlighting the importance of practice, confidence, and learning from mistakes.
