What is an at‑home sleep study?

An at‑home sleep study is a diagnostic test that monitors your breathing and oxygen levels overnight to assess whether you have snoring or obstructive sleep apnoea.

How a home sleep study works

A small, easy‑to‑use device records your breathing, oxygen levels, snoring, and sleep position while you sleep at home.

It provides accurate data without the need for a hospital or lab environment.

What the study measures

  • Breathing pauses

  • Oxygen desaturation

  • Snoring intensity

  • Heart rate

  • Sleep position

Why choose an at‑home sleep study?

You sleep in your own bed, in your normal environment, without wires or hospital equipment.

Fast results

Your study is interpreted by a sleep physician, and results are returned quickly so you can begin treatment sooner.

Accurate diagnosis

Modern home sleep studies provide reliable data for diagnosing snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea.

Cost‑effective

Home sleep studies are more affordable than in‑lab testing and are often the first step in treatment planning.
