AB  - The  accurate  diagnosis  of  events  occurring  during  sleep  requires  knowledge  of  normal  and  abnormal  sleep,  skills  in  recording  specialized  forms  of  polysomnography,  and  experience  in  interpreting  multiple  physiological  signals  coupled  to  video  and  audio  recordings.  A  careful  history  from  the  patient  with  a  collateral  history  from  a  bed  partner,  parent,  or  caregiver  is  essential  to  determine  whether  a  sleep  study  is  necessary  and  to  provide  perspective  into  its  subsequent  significance.  In  some  cases,  the  diagnosis  may  be  obvious  on  history  alone,  whereas  in  others,  a  range  of  studies,  including  wake  and  sleep  electroencephalography  (EEG),  brain  magnetic  resonance  imaging  (MRI),  and  neuropsychometric  tests,  may  be  needed.  Solving  the  problems  posed  by  complex  parasomnias  or  sleep-related  movement  disorders  may  take  considerable  skills  spanning  the  fields  of  sleep  medicine,  psychiatry,  epileptology,  and  neurodegenerative  disorders.
