The At-Home Sleep Apnea Study from Sleep Doctor is a disposable sleep apnea test you may administer at home. Each device consists of finger, wrist, and chest sensors that monitor seven different metrics associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). If worn properly, the test can determine whether you qualify for an OSA diagnosis after just one night. WatchPAT One may be a more convenient alternative to an overnight sleep study, the traditional method for testing people for OSA symptoms.
To receive the test, you'll need to submit some assessment forms and schedule an online appointment with a licensed physician. This helps determine if you meet the diagnostic criteria for OSA. If the test confirms you have OSA symptoms, you'll meet with a sleep coach to discuss treatment and other follow-up steps. The test is disposable. You must be 18 years of age to take this test.
- Chest, wrist, and finger sensors measure peripheral arterial tone, heart rate, blood oxygen, actigraphy, body position, snoring, and chest motion
- Testers receive an AHI score in their follow-up email
- Those who meet diagnostic criteria for OSA after testing may be prescribed PAP therapy
- Unopened tests may be returned within 60 days
We recommend an at-home sleep study for:
- People who frequently snore or wake up gasping for air
- Those who suspect they have sleep apnea but wish to forgo traditional polysomnography

Will the sleep test cause sleep problems?
Some people who take our at-home sleep test experience anxiety during the night, which can make it hard to fall asleep and lead to inaccurate results. However, we're confident you'll be more comfortable and relaxed in your own bed than if you participated in an overnight sleep study at a sleep center.
For most people, the test can gather enough information after one night – even if you are nervous and experience sleep disruptions. If you sleep 2.5 hours or less, you should consider retaking the sleep test.
How does the at-home sleep study work?
The WatchPAT features a wrist sensor, pulse oximeter, and chest sensor. The device uses three points of contact – the wrist, finger, and neck – to collect data for seven key sleep apnea metrics.
The device measures central and obstructive sleep apnea events, true sleep time, snoring, breathing rates, oxygen saturation levels, heart rate, your body's position, and how much time you spend in each sleep stage.
Designed for comprehensive results, our sleep test helps your doctor make an informed diagnosis and therapy recommendations. The WatchPAT's sensors send data directly to a doctor via your cell phone's Bluetooth.
How much does a sleep study cost?
If you opt for an overnight study at a sleep center, expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000 for your stay.
At-home sleep tests are much more affordable by comparison. Our test costs $189 and includes a virtual consultation with a board-certified sleep specialist to make sure you are a candidate for a sleep study.
How are people tested for sleep apnea?
Anyone seeking a sleep apnea diagnosis has two options: an overnight sleep study at a sleep lab, or at-home test.
Most center-based sleep studies are conducted over the course of one to two nights. At-home tests are faster and more convenient. Keep in mind that both types of tests require a doctor's prescription.
What is the purpose of a sleep study?
Sleep studies are used to monitor your sleep patterns. Doctors use the study's results to diagnose insomnia, sleep apnea, and other sleep disorders.
Do you need a prescription for sleep apnea therapy?
CPAP machines and face masks are federally regulated medical devices in the United States, so you'll need a prescription for these components – both of which are essential for CPAP therapy. You can obtain a prescription by completing a sleep study or test, then receiving a sleep apnea diagnosis from a board-certified physician.

The process was very easy, the device was simple and easy to set up. I wasn't able to get the 6 hours of sleep I needed for the study because I got called into work and they sent a new one out right away.

I purchased this test to find out if I had sleep apnea. Turns out my apnea is mild but I have moderate insomnia as well. They went over all my results with me, asked some pertinent questions, and gave me several good suggestions to get my insomnia under control before I pursue apnea treatment. Very insightful and the test is easy to use.

I got this on sale since I was worried about my family history of sleep apnea and wasn't sure what to expect, but I'm surprised at how much a little finger sensor can pick up! This thing actually knew when I was asleep and when I wasn't, monitored snoring volume, breathing and even what TYPE of sleep I was experiencing at any given moment, and the doctor I spoke with after I took the test was very pleasant and explained the report that got emailed to me... Apparently the thing can recognize insomnia as well as sleep apnea.

Its amazing that you can have a sleep study done in your own home. Setting the device up is quick and easy. In just a day after testing, I had a meeting with the doctor. I was suggested a bipap machine . In only 8 days from receiving the test kit I had everything I needed to experience better sleep.

I've struggled with undiagnosed sleep issues for decades. Sleeplessness, tossing and turning, waking up feeling like I was suffocating and snoring was routine. I never felt rested and was always tired it seemed.
However, I would never go to a sleep doctor to spend the night in a cold strange room, hooked up to lots of wires and sensors and monitors, because I know I'd never be able to sleep there. When I found out that I could actually do a sleep study in the comfort of my own home with minimal interference of my sleep, I jumped at the chance. I took the Sleep Doctor survey about my sleep and had a tele-conference with a medical professional. He recommended I take the At-Home Sleep Study. I received the home sleep study device within a few days and immediately hooked my self up one night. Literally it was similar to a watch, a finger o2 monitor and one sensor on my chest. It took all of five minutes to get it hooked up. I slept and in the morning the device had sent my results to Sleep Doctor remotely. I then scheduled a tele-conference with a medical professional at Sleep Doctor and she gave me the results. It was to say the least eye opening. She explained why I woke up gasping for air, had head aches in the morning and was always tired. I was basically getting no sleep at all. She prescribed a CPAP for me and it has been a literal life changer. I sleep and stay asleep longer, I actually dream, and have more energy than I've had in years. I wish I had…
