Life-changing Benefits of a Home Sleep Test

05/16/2023

If you are tired of poor sleep, daytime fogginess, constant fatigue, and stress from never feeling well rested, it may be time to explore the possibility that you suffer from Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). Millions of people have OSA, and many of those people suffer the adverse health effects of OSA for years (even decades) before getting a proper diagnosis and treatment for this serious sleep disorder.

If you feel you have sleep apnea, you can take an at-home sleep study and get confirmation that you have this very treatable sleep disorder. Once you get a sleep apnea diagnosis from a trained sleep dentist, treatment may begin.

Then and Now

Years ago, you could only undergo a sleep study in a lab while hooked up to wires, machines, electrodes, and various tubes to monitor your body functions while you sleep. Now, with amazing advances in sleep study technology, you can take a home sleep test in the comfort of your own home, in your own bed. The benefit of being in your home is very appealing to many people looking for relief from their troubled sleep. No one wants to sleep in a lab surrounded by equipment and technicians.

Sleep professionals will gather your data, formulate a diagnosis, and then you can work with a sleep apnea specialist to find a treatment plan that works for you. You need not suffer the numerous negative effects OSA causes any longer.

You deserve a good night’s sleep, and the results of a home sleep study will lead to a treatment plan that could change your life. Instead of suffering from symptoms and being reprimanded for snoring by your loved ones, take an at-home sleep test and discover the many benefits this marvel of technology provides.

Benefits of At-Home Sleep Tests

Taking a sleep test at home offers:

  • Comfort and convenience
  • Accurate results
  • Affordability (at-home sleep studies are much more affordable than in a lab)
  • Faster results
  • No travel
  • No time off work
  • No being away from family
  • Privacy
  • Fewer attached devices allow for more comfort

While everyone’s insurance is different, you may find that your health insurance is willing to pay a portion of your at-home sleep study. Your sleep apnea dentist and staff will look into your health insurance benefits and see what is covered and what you may have to pay out of pocket.

What to Expect

Some people will initiate the home sleep test on their own, while others will do so with the guidance of their doctor or sleep dentist. You will receive the equipment in the mail; you will get directions for how to operate the machinery and use the app to monitor your sleep and transmit the results.

For two nights, your sleep will be monitored, and the results will quickly go to a sleep analyst for review. You will then be connected with sleep apnea treatment providers in your area. The software and devices are all HIPAA-compliant and FDA-approved. Your information is protected, and you will know your results very quickly. You’ll return the equipment and hopefully begin a treatment plan that will change your life.

People joke about snoring, but it really is serious business. If you snore, you likely have sleep apnea, and if you have sleep apnea, you likely snore—very loudly. Instead of being pushed to the guest room or banished to the couch, wouldn’t you rather get to the root of your sleep problem and fix it than just live with it and suffer its consequences?

OSA Takes a Toll

Sleep apnea doesn’t just disrupt your sleep. It wreaks havoc on your overall health. Did you know that sleep apnea has been associated with:

  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Stroke
  • Diabetes
  • Erectile Dysfunction
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Mood disorders

Let an at-home sleep test change your life. The benefits of an at-home sleep test affect every aspect of your life. Finally, you will know why your sleep is of such poor quality, and you can start treatment right away.
