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.
- Paul M.Verified BuyerReviewingAt-Home Sleep StudyRated 5 out of 5 stars5/13/25Sleep Study
Fast and easy. Was waiting months for a Doctors appointment to open up and along came this online study. A little hesitant at first but the test came quickly, instructions were simple, and test devices were a no brainer. The accuracy of the test was right on cue and the cost was nominal compared to what a doctors visit would have cost me. I would encourage anyone struggling to sleep at night to get the study done. I just gained back a cherished part of my life - Sleep!!
- Paul S.Verified BuyerReviewingAt-Home Sleep StudyRated 5 out of 5 stars5/13/25Easy and accurate test. Way more comfortable than going to do a sleep test somwhere else. Plus you meet with someone after to discuss your sleep test
I am about 100lb over weight, and I knew I had some type of sleeping issue because I would wake up in panic at times and feeling like i had no air or oxygen. Even just sitting in different position with my head tilted down a little, I start to make little snore sounds. Most of the time my breathing is juet hard and loud. Also, anytime I fell asleep on my back for just a second, I would wake up right away coughing and choking. I have been suffering from heart palpitations on and off for years. They did not start from sleep apnea, but I believe they have happened at many times due to sleep apnea. My brain and electrical system are very sensitive due to prior-drug abuse and overdose with substances that affect the brain and heart … with self-care work and spirituality, i am getting better, but the apnea, I believe, has kept me from fully healing these heart palpitations.
So, anyway, I finally did an at-home sleep test and it turns out that i have sleep apnea (ya think? Lol). I stop breathing almost 8 times every hour, my heart rate goes up to over 100+ BPM at times during the night, and at some point(s) my oxygen level went down to 87%. THANK GOD that I took this test.
It is easy and not uncomfortable. Goes on your finger and then a little piece sticks on your chest. And then I met with someone from Sleep Doctor who explained all of those symptoms that I mentioned above and told me exactly what to buy. I do have a brand new CPAP machine though, from my father, so I just…
- ADRIANA M.Verified BuyerReviewingAt-Home Sleep StudyRated 5 out of 5 stars5/12/25Very happy with my experience
I saw a commercial playing on the TV while on vacation. I thought why not give it a try especially since I don’t have insurance. The kit was sent and I took the test. It was easy to understand and follow all the steps. I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea. I ordered all the equipment the doctor prescribed and am now using it nightly. My husband is so happy to get a good nights rest without putting up with my snoring and I am feeling so much better. Very glad this is available to do at home where I feel most comfortable.
