Options for Home Sleep Testing

Snoring is a medical problem and can be dangerous. It is important for patients to be professionally evaluated by a physician. Once your doctor finds that you may have a potential sleep disorder you will most likely be recommended to get a sleep study.

A doctor professionally trained in sleep medicine will consult with you and appoint you for a sleep study. The patient will spend one night in a sleep lab facility that is fully equipped to monitor you throughout the night.  These centers are like hotel settings with comfy pillows and beds. These centers also have TV’s and nicely appointed bathrooms to shower in the morning.

There are other options for sleep studies.  Home sleep studies are becoming more common.  These studies are set up in your own home, using your own bed.  This is a perfect option for patients with specific needs or patients that just prefer their own home.

It is important to understand that not all home testing companies are created equal.  There is a specific standard with various levels of testing that must be carried out to ensure proper test results.  Only a  health care provider can refer you to these particular companies.
