A home sleep test (HST) is a convenient way to diagnose sleep apnea from the comfort of your own bed. The portable device monitors your breathing, oxygen levels, and heart rate while you sleep. It's less expensive and more comfortable than an in-lab sleep study. After one night of use, the data is analyzed by a sleep specialist to determine if you have sleep apnea and its severity. Home sleep testing is ideal for patients with moderate to high likelihood of obstructive sleep apnea without other significant medical conditions.
