At-Home Sleep Studies

If you believe you have obstructive sleep apnea or another type of sleep apnea, a sleep study is used to give you a diagnosis. From there, you will receive a report that we can use to give you the necessary treatment so you can get on the road to safer sleep.

Some patients would rather have a sleep study at home where they feel more comfortable. At AirwayOC, we offer a variety of sleep apnea and TMJ services, including at-home sleep studies near you.

What Are At-home Sleep Apnea Tests?

At-home sleep apnea tests are used to diagnose sleep apnea. You might also hear at-home sleep studies referred to as “unattended sleep studies” because a doctor or technician does not assist you with the test at home. The test is done with a portable device.

During a sleep apnea sleep study, your nasal and oral airflow, respiratory effort, and oxygen levels are measured. This helps us to gain insight into your sleep patterns and discover whether you have sleep apnea.

Why Should You Get an At-Home Sleep Test?

There are many benefits to at-home sleep apnea tests, including:

• At-home sleep studies are more convenient. You don’t have to drive to a sleep center or a lab.
• At-home sleep studies are less expensive, because you only have to pay for the equipment and report rather than the use of the lab and sleep technician.
• At-home sleep studies are less intrusive. In the lab, you are monitored with several different instruments that may be uncomfortable and can affect your sleep. At-home studies use three pieces of equipment that are not intrusive.

Contact us today to start the at-home sleep study process. You will first need to schedule a consultation to determine if an at-home study is right for your needs. Then, you will receive the equipment, complete the test, and return the equipment. You will later get a report and learn about the necessary steps.
