Polysomnography students at Alvin Community College presented sleep study information to area physicians Tuesday, July 10.

The physicians and students, who are in their second semester at the school, went over the polysomnography procedures together.

"It's always good to be on the different side of things," Dr. Supriya Singh, a sleep special medicine specialist, said in a press release. "It gives us insight."
