Most common signs to watch for are snoring, breathing pauses or choking/gasping, restless sleep, daytime fatigue, morning headaches, night sweats, abnormal behaviors/dreams during sleep, and difficulty initiating and maintaining sleep. Additional signs may include depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, being quick to anger, sleep attacks, and drowsy driving. There are many sleep disorders, but these are some of the most common signs to watch for.
A sleep test uses sensors to watch your body during sleep looking for key indicators. Where a Home test is generally a screening for sleep apnea only and is not observed by a sleep specialist, a full Polysomnography study is monitored live by a registered sleep technologist (RPSGT/RST/RRT-SDS) and looks at far more sensors and is much more advanced in analysis. Regardless of the test, an experienced sleep specialist needs to review the data and your sleep history to look for correlations to determine a diagnosis and treatment plan.
Home testing is only recommended for patients with a high probability of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, meaning they snore, have some tiredness, and been told they have breathing pauses/gasping while sleeping. In Facility testing is needed for most other sleep disorders to be diagnosed, and for those that Home Testing did not provide a clear diagnosis.
Making an appointment with a Registered Sleep Technologist to document your signs and symptoms is the first step. Step Two is taking this information to your doctor or our Board-Certified Sleep Specialists and requesting an order for sleep testing or treatment if testing is not needed for your sleep complaints (insomnia).
