- Breathing
- Oxygen levels

What Are The Benefits of a Home Sleep Test?
Home sleep tests make it incredibly easy and affordable for patients to determine if they have sleep apnea. Other benefits of a home sleep test include:
- Gives patients the ability to test themselves in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes as opposed to a sleep laboratory
- Greatly increases access to sleep apnea testing for the elderly, disabled and chronically-ill
- Offers convenience and flexibility to those on tight schedules or with limited transportation
- Home sleep studies cost a fraction as much as in-lab studies and yield similar results
How Does Home Sleep Testing Work?
Our current home sleep testing process is simple. Once you arrive at our office, pop the trunk of your car so that we may drop the device inside. When you return home, a member of our staff will call you to have a video chat session and show you how to set up the home sleep testing device. Return to our office the next day, pop your trunk, and we will take the device back.
