Frequently asked questions

What can a Home Sleep Study diagnose?

A Home Sleep Study is designed to detect obstructive sleep apnea—a sleep-related breathing disorder. It measures breathing patterns, oxygen levels, and airflow while you sleep to help identify whether disrupted breathing may be affecting your energy, focus, and long-term health.

How is this different from an in-lab sleep study?

A Home Sleep Study is completed in your own bed, on your schedule. It’s more convenient, more comfortable, more affordable, and faster to access than a lab study. In-lab studies are sometimes recommended for more complex sleep conditions. Our care team will help you determine if that’s necessary.

Why am I suddenly waking up at 3 am with my heart racing?

This is a classic sign of perimenopause. Fluctuating progesterone—your body’s natural "calming" hormone—can trigger nighttime anxiety and early morning waking

Can lack of sleep actually cause my mood swings?

Yes. Chronic sleep deprivation disrupts the delicate balance of serotonin (your "happy" hormone) and cortisol (your "stress" hormone). This makes minor frustrations feel overwhelming and causes those "unpredictable" mood swings.

Is it just insomnia, or could it be sleep apnea?

It sometimes can be both. In perimenopause, sleep apnea often "masquerades" as insomnia. You might wake up at 2:00 a.m. feeling anxious or alert, assuming it's a hormonal mood swing, when it was actually a drop in oxygen that jolted your brain awake. A home sleep test is the only way to tell if your "insomnia" is actually a breathing disruption that needs a different kind of care

Is a Home Sleep Study covered by insurance or HSA/FSA?

The Home Sleep Study is eligible for HSA or FSA reimbursement, and may be covered by insurance depending on your plan. We provide documentation to make reimbursement for eligible medical products or services purchased through Sleep Doctor straightforward.

    Surprising Results

    The sleep study was easy to do, which was very surprising.

    The added value of beneficial medical information is well worth the price.

    I actually slept during the test!

    I have done an at home sleep study in the past and it was horrible! I didn’t sleep. I woke up with a headache and marks on my forehead that stayed for a couple of months. I also did a sleep study at the hospital. It was so uncomfortable and again- I didn’t sleep at all. With the sleep doctor test, I was able to sleep and get results. The doctor that shared my results explained everything clearly and she made recommendations. Overall, I had a great experience with this test.

    easy and fast

    I have been waiting for so long to do a sleep study, my doctor recommended this that I could it from home and it was so fast and easy to do the study, then explain the results and in a short time I had my therapy which has helped me feel much more rested and relaxed.

    In Home Sleep Study

    This was a convenient way to check about my sleep quality. They worked with my insurance company and I have received follow-up on my equipment and initial usage to make sure I have a good road to progress.

    Overall Great Experience

    The responses to questions and the customer support along the way was amazing. Device was easy to setup and understand. Only issue was pressure one the finger sensor being too high. I tried switching to pinky with same results. Otherwise glad to have chosen this company.
