Sleep apnoea is a disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while you sleep. These interruptions can happen many times per night and can lead to various health issues, including daytime fatigue, cardiovascular problems, and more.
Identifying sleep apnoea is the first step in treating it effectively. Early diagnosis can help manage symptoms, improve your sleep quality, and reduce the risk of complications.
Our at-home sleep test is a simple, non-invasive way to diagnose sleep apnoea. Here’s how it works:
Consultation: Schedule a consultation with our dental sleep specialist to determine if you’re a candidate for at-home testing.
Taking the Test Home: After your consultation, you’ll receive a portable sleep test device to use in the comfort of your own bed.
Using the Device: The device is easy to use. Just follow the provided instructions to set it up before going to sleep.
Data Collection: While you sleep, the device will record various parameters, such as airflow, blood oxygen levels, breathing effort, and snoring.
Returning the Device: After the testing period, you’ll return the device to our clinic for analysis.
Analysis and Follow-Up: Our sleep specialist will analyse your data and discuss the results with you, recommending further steps such as a dental device (snoring mouthguard) if necessary.
Comfort: Conducted in your usual sleeping environment.
Convenience: Easy to use, with no need for overnight stays in a sleep lab.
Comprehensive: Provides detailed information about your breathing, oxygen levels, and more.
If you suspect you might have sleep apnoea, or if you have been experiencing symptoms like snoring, daytime fatigue, or interrupted sleep, our at-home sleep test can provide valuable insights.
