Home Sleep Test,
In Your Own Bed

Loud snoring, gasping, and waking up tired can point to sleep apnea, and you do not need a lab to find out. A home sleep test uses a take-home device to record your breathing overnight in your own bed, then an ENT provider reviews the results and explains what they mean.

What a Home Sleep Test Is

A home sleep test is a simple overnight study you complete in your own bed. A small device records breathing, oxygen levels, and sleep-related effort while you sleep normally.

A convenient way to check for sleep apnea and understand how it may be affecting your rest.

Why ENT Urgent Care for Home Sleep Test

Sleep apnea often starts with the nose, throat, and airway, which makes ENT evaluation important. At ENT Urgent Care, the same team that reviews your sleep test can also evaluate your airway and guide treatment options, from CPAP to other alternatives, instead of stopping at the diagnosis.
