How Home Sleep Study Works
Understand Your Sleep Without Leaving Home
At Sleep StudyAt Home, we make it simple and comfortable to assess your sleep. Our Home Sleep Study (HSS) lets you monitor your sleep patterns overnight — right in your own bed. It’s non-invasive, easy, and designed for your convenience. Below is a complete guide on how the process works so you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
What Is a Home Sleep Study?
A Home Sleep Study is a medically-approved test that records your breathing and sleep patterns while you sleep at home. It’s used to detect sleep disorders, most commonly Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), but also helps assess snoring, oxygen levels, heart rate, and more — without visiting a sleep lab.
