What is Sleep Apnea?

Excerpt from National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute

Sleep apnea is a common condition in the United States. It can occur when the upper airway becomes blocked repeatedly during sleep, reducing or completely stopping airflow. This is known as obstructive sleep apnea. If the brain does not send the signals needed to breathe, the condition may be called central sleep apnea.

Healthcare providers use sleep studies to diagnose sleep apnea. They record the number of episodes of slow or stopped breathing and the number of central sleep apnea events detected in an hour. They also determine whether oxygen levels in the blood are lower during these events.

Breathing devices such as continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) machines and lifestyle changes are common sleep apnea treatments. Undiagnosed or untreated sleep apnea can lead to serious complications such as heart attack, glaucoma, diabetes, cancer, and cognitive and behavioral disorders.

What is a Home Sleep Study? What is Sleep Testing?

In order to diagnose Sleep Apnea or other sleep disorders, you must undergo a polysomnography (sleep study). Technological advancements now allow polysomnograpy to be performed at home and is called a home sleep study or home sleep testing. The benefits of a home sleep study or home sleep testing are numerous and include: 1) the ability to complete the testing at-home in familiar surroundings, 2) a more convenient option for people who have trouble scheduling an overnight sleep study in a lab and 3) a more affordable option as a home sleep study or home sleep test is a fraction of the cost of an in-lab overnight sleep study.
