    At-home sleep apnea tests represent a turning point for diagnosing sleep apnea. To diagnose sleep apnea and other sleep disorders, you would typically need to spend a night in a sleep lab. Sleeping in an unusual environment and hooked up to a network of wires is a recipe for poor sleep.
    An at-home sleep test allows you to test for sleep apnea in the comfort of your own home, and by wearing a comparatively simple device. Join Tayler as she explains what you need to get started, and how easy it is to transmit the results to your physician.

    I have VA healthcare and was sent the watchpat1 and the sensor on the finger and the chest kept falling off and I’d wake up to put it back on so they sent me for a in lab and that was last night and I don’t feel like I got much sleep. The bed was uncomfortable, the room was hot and all the wires just made it the falling asleep chances pretty slim. Hopefully they got enough data from it.

    Insurance companies stopped paying for in-lab sleep studies. Hence, the rise of at-home tests.

    I’m confused, you are allowed to use this device several nights? Because another video on this says only one night of testing is allowed.

      Yeah the device she has displayed only allows one test.

    I did an at-home sleep test and couldn't fall asleep for a second all night because of the monitoring unit strapped to me with all the constrictive wires. The hospital still charged me $700.00 out of pocket because I turned the machine on before bedtime and 'technically used it,' even though it read completely negative because I couldn't sleep. That was the biggest waste of money I've ever spent in my entire lifetime. I never got a proper test done because it's way too expensive.

      Dude that sucks. On lofta it's only 150 dollars if you have a discount and they give you a prescription and a free retest. Maybe you can try that

      you normally do not need to return the at home device. It connects to your mobile phone and sends the information to the clinic. You throw the device out after using it.
