Hey, happy you’re doing this, as a sleep apnea sufferer. But in my hometown, they’re doing at home sleep studies, with a recording unit you wear at home and upload the results. Way more convenient than an in person study. Not sure if that’s limited to major cities or what.
- maxgreenfeld 5y agoCurrently, ~60% of studies are being done in lab. We agree that the convenience of at-home sleep tests makes testing significantly more accessible.
- caymanjim 5y agoInsurance companies all but insist on lab studies. I've tried to get a clear answer from doctors on why, but none of them offered a good explanation. I refuse to do it; there's no way I can fall asleep in that setting, on their schedule, in an uncomfortable bed, with people watching me. If you push back enough you can always get a home test.
