Want to stop snoring

The Home Sleep Test is a portable sleep test that is typically recorded on equipment you take to your home. The home sleep study should be performed one or multiple nights and keep many records of the same physio­logical channels as an in-lab study, such as the heart rate, oxygen satura­tion, sleep stages, respir­atory effort, airflow, body position, snoring, body movement, sleep states, and actigr­aphy.

Home Sleep Test

Airflow – This is measured by a cannula-like equipment that sits underneath your nose.

Oxygen Levels – A small probe sits on your nondominant pointing finger and measures oxygen levels in your body.
Respiratory Effort – It is achieved by placing at a minimum one effort belt around the chest and that senses the rise and fall of your chest to correlate effort with or without airflow.
Body Position – The Home Sleep Test equipment can determine what position you are sleeping in as some of the indivi­duals only have signif­icant Obstru­ctive Sleep Apnea in certain body position.
