My husband had one he could do at home years ago I didn't even think they did that kind anymore where you have to go in.

My mother had two tests done at different times in her life. One was in a sleep study environment. The other was at home. The one at home was similar to a holter monitor.

yes
done at home
if you don't have the test you won't improve your sleep

Yes, years ago I had one where I had to go to a facility. I did not like that one but I completed it.

About two years ago i had another one, and I was able to do it at home. Much better.

Ask for the one that you can do at home.

Unfornutely they aren't as accurate , and many time inclusive , and you still have to the in lab study. I have had both.

Exhausted ALL the time, so I did the home-version of a sleep study; the results indicated "minor" sleep apnea, so my doctor had me schedule a study in a facility. I was in a room by myself and once I was all hooked up with all the wires and probes, I was able to sleep through the night.

I've had 2 of them. Nice room in the hospital and didn't have any trouble. I had major limb movements and some snoring according to the doctor. I now use a cpap and sleep like a baby. I also brought lots of snacks.

@monicakm You might check with your insurance provider. Nowadays, many insurances will pay for an "At home" sleep study as long as your Doctor has said it is medically necessary. I have Humana and they will pay for the "At home" sleep study as long as it is medically necessary. Worth checking in to.
