If you’re having trouble with your sleep, your doctor or someone you know may have suggested undergoing a sleep study. Participating in a sleep study or sleep clinic can be a great way to get to the root of your sleep issues and find out how to fall asleep faster, stay asleep, and wake up feeling refreshed—but sleep clinics can be exensive, uncomfortable, and hard to find.

With Sleep Reset, you can get the benefits of a sleep study right from your phone, in the comfort of your own home. Learn more about Sleep Reset and our at-home sleep study.

What Is a Sleep Study?

When you undergo a sleep study, you typically will need to go to a professional facility such as a sleep clinic or sleep center. These clinics are essentially laboratories where a doctor can monitor you overnight and observe your brain and body activityto look for possible sleep disruptions. Sensors will measure brain activity, breathing, and other signals that can help your doctor diagnose sleep disorsers or issues. In addition to identifying irregularities with your sleep, sleep studies can reveal if you have sleep disorders such as Restless Leg Syndrome, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and more.

While sleep studies are incredibly effective at diagnosing sleep problems, they’re often expensive and require you to wait weeks or months to get in. More and more, people suffering from sleep disruptions are turning to at-home sleep clinics, where there are no waitlists and significantly lower costs.

What Types of Sleep Studies Are There?

When you attend a sleep clinic, there are several different types of sleep studies that may be conducted, depending on your sleep problems. Here are some of the common types of sleep studies:

• Polysomnography: Polysomnography involves monitoring a patient overnight and looking at their eye movements, respiratory activity, blood oxygen levels, heart rate, brain activity, muscle activity, body movement, snoring, and more.
• CPAP Titration: Those with sleep apnea may need a CPAP machine (continuous positive airway pressure) to treat their sleep disorder. In a CPAP titration study, the technician learns what level of air pressure the patient needs from their CPAP device. Sleep apnea can usually be diagnosed through polysomnography, and then a CPAP titration study is used to ensure the patient has their CPAP machine properly programmed.
• Multiple Sleep Latency Test: This test looks at the time it takes for someone to fall asleep and monitors if someone enters REM sleep when they nap during the daytime. This is a test often used to diagnose narcolepsy.
• At-home Tests: At-home tests are a convenient alternative to an in-person sleep study. For an at-home sleep apnea test, you may need special equipment to diagnose the issue. For other sleep disorders, following the instructions for tracking progress can help you address your sleep problems.

How Does a Home Sleep Study Work?

While a sleep clinic involves an overnight visit with sensors, a home sleep study will involve tracking your sleep patterns over time, using a mobile app. Sleep Reset’s self-sleep clinic begins with a a thorough sleep quiz to uncover the root issues that are causing your sleep problems. After that, you get your custom-built program to help you address those issues and sleep better. Sleep Reset also provides you with a dedicated sleep coach to provide you guidance throughout the program and monitor your progress.
