Do you struggle to get enough sleep each night? You’re not alone. Millions of people have difficulty sleeping, leading to a range of health issues from fatigue and decreased productivity during the day to more serious long-term consequences like chronic illnesses. If you’ve been struggling with your sleep for some time now, it might be time for you to consider taking a sleep test.
If you suffer from daytime sleepiness, snoring or other symptoms, it may be helpful to take a home sleep test for OSA. Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is caused by obstruction of the upper airway during sleep, interrupting airflow and reducing blood oxygen levels. Common signs include loud snoring, gasping or choking during sleep. Sufferers stop breathing for 10 seconds or longer, up to hundreds of times per night, often reducing blood oxygen to dangerously low levels.
- More than 43 million Americans suffer from obstructive sleep apnea.
- Over 85% of people with OSA don’t know it – yet this syndrome can be deadly
- OSA can occur in anyone, though it is more common in men.
- Patients with OSA are at an increased risk of other chronic diseases and accidents: 2x risk of stroke, 4x risk of mortality within four years, 5x risk of cardiovascular event, 7x risk of a motor vehicle accident (30% of accidents involving commercial truck drivers are sleep related)
- OSA frequently coexists with obesity, depression, diabetes, stroke and hypertension and can cause or aggravate these conditions
- Home Sleep Testing is easier and more cost effective than Sleep Center Testing for many patients.
- Home Sleep Testing eliminates waiting periods and improves test completion rates
- The natural at-home sleep environment facilitates good quality sleep, improving test quality
- Home Sleep Testing is affordable, typically producing a 75% savings versus overnight in-facility testing

What is sleep testing and why do I need it?
Sleep testing is an essential part of understanding your sleeping patterns and overall health. We offer a free sleep assessment that can be used to measure the duration and quality of your sleep and provide insight into determining whether excessive fatigue or other sleeping-related issues such as daytime sleepiness and apnea exist.
If you want a more accurate sleep test, we offer a Home Sleep Test (HST). It includes limited usage of the HST device for the number of nights purchased, certified sleep tech scoring, and a fully interpreted report from a board-certified Sleep Physician.
Understanding the results of sleep tests
Sleep tests play an important role in diagnosing and treating various sleep-related issues. These tests provide medical professionals with insight into your sleep patterns and habits, allowing for tailored treatment plans to be effectively implemented. Results from different types of sleep tests will vary depending on factors such as the type of test being done and the condition that's being evaluated. However, broadly speaking, most results will include information about your level of alertness and energy throughout the day, how long it takes to fall asleep at night, how often you wake during the night and other important details about your sleeping patterns. Understanding these results is key to tackling any underlying problems or conditions that may be impacting your sleep!
Benefits of a good night's sleep
A good night's sleep is not just a luxury; it is essential for our overall well-being. Sleep plays a critical role in multiple aspects of our health, such as enhancing cognitive function, strengthening the immune system, and reducing stress. When we sleep, our brain consolidates memories, helping us to better recall information and improve concentration during our waking hours. Moreover, during sleep, our body actively repairs and rejuvenates itself, allowing us to face each new day with renewed energy and mental sharpness. Apart from these benefits, adequate sleep also contributes to a more balanced emotional state, helping us better regulate our mood and maintain a positive outlook. In essence, investing in quality sleep is investing in a healthier and happier life.

Tips for improving your quality of sleep
Sleep is an essential component of a healthy lifestyle, playing a critical role in our emotional, physical, and mental well-being. Therefore, taking steps to improve the quality of sleep is crucial for optimizing our daily lives. One effective strategy is to establish a consistent sleep schedule, heading to bed and waking up at the same time each day, even on weekends. This can help synchronize our internal body clock and promote a better night's rest. Another key tip is to create a calming bedtime routine, incorporating activities such as reading or meditating, which can signal to our body that it's time to wind down. Additionally, making your sleep environment as comfortable as possible is critical. Investing in a quality mattress, maintaining a cool room temperature, and using blackout curtains to block out excess light can drastically enhance the quality of one's slumber. Finally, limiting screen time before bed and promoting relaxation through mindfulness exercises can effectively combat the effects of sleep-disrupting stressors, ultimately leading to a more restorative and rejuvenating sleeping experience.
When do you need a sleep test?
If you've been experiencing persistent sleep-related issues, such as chronic fatigue, insomnia, snoring, or breathing interruptions during sleep, it might be time to consider undergoing a sleep test. A sleep test, also known as a sleep study, is a non-invasive, examination that closely monitors your sleeping patterns to identify potential sleep disorders. It analyses factors like brain waves, oxygen levels in your blood, heart rate, and eye and leg movements, to provide a comprehensive understanding of your sleep quality. By identifying underlying sleep problems, a sleep test can help you and your healthcare provider develop a personalized treatment plan to improve your sleep, overall health, and quality of life.
Sleep is an essential part of our lives
Sleep is an essential part of our lives, and getting a good night's rest is essential for your physical and mental health. Getting the right amount of sleep each night helps to improve your overall well-being and productivity. Sleep testing can help you discover why you’re not sleeping properly, so if you’re having any sleep-related issues, we recommend giving it a try. Testing safely confirms or rules out any medical issues causing insomnia or snoring problems that can be easily fixed with treatment.
