One of the ways in which sleep apnea is diagnosed is through a home sleep test. Home sleep tests are becoming an increasingly common way to identify this condition, as they are a convenient, comfortable and accurate way to make a diagnosis.
These tests typically involve wearing a small device on the wrist or finger that measures various aspects of your sleep, including oxygen levels and breathing patterns. The data collected by the device is then analyzed by a sleep specialist who can determine whether you have sleep apnea and how severe your condition is.
The greatest advantage of home sleep tests is that they are much more convenient than traditional in-lab sleep studies, which require patients to spend a night in a sleep center hooked up to numerous sensors and machines. Home sleep tests can be done in the comfort of one’s own bed and can often provide results within a few days.
