Sleep Medicine
At-home sleep studies are a convenient way to screen for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea without undergoing an in-laboratory sleep study. A home sleep study is performed in the comfort of your own bed to determine if you have obstructive sleep apnea. It is a simple and economical way to screen for sleep apnea by reducing the waiting time for diagnosis and costs associated with a full traditional in-clinic sleep study.
What is Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is caused by an airway obstruction, which prevents normal breathing during sleep. In addition to excessive daytime sleepiness and fatigue, untreated sleep apnea can cause or worsen high blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes and stroke. If you suffer from daytime sleepiness, loud and frequent snoring, gasping, breathing pauses, morning headaches, nocturnal gastro-esophageal reflux or high blood pressure among others, you may have sleep apnea.

Sleep Testing at Home
You will be given a small recording device connected to biosensors, belts, and other accessories to be worn overnight. Various parameters may be recorded such as blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, respiratory effort, and respiratory airflow. Upon returning the device, a qualified medical professional will interpret the results and review them with you before determining if further care is necessary and refer you to a sleep specialist.
