    Area of Science:

    • Sleep Medicine
    • Diagnostic Standards

    Background:

    • Sleep disorders medicine faces challenges in gaining recognition and optimizing resource allocation.
    • Effective diagnosis is crucial for managing sleep disorders.

    Discussion:

    • The authors advocate for the Canadian Sleep Society and Canadian Thoracic Society's polysomnography standards.
    • These standards aim to ensure prudent use of the expensive polysomnography resource.

    Key Insights:

    • Polysomnography standards are essential for resource management in sleep medicine.
    • Validated measures for sleep disorder impact and diagnostic reliability are currently lacking.

    Outlook:

    • Further research is required to establish reliable diagnostic methods.
    • Developing valid measures for sleep disorder impact is a priority.
