Home Sleep Test: How to Get One & What to Expect (A Complete Guide)

If you’ve been struggling with snoring, daytime exhaustion, morning headaches, or waking up gasping for air, you may be wondering whether you should get a home sleep test. The good news? Getting a home sleep test is easier, more accessible, and more comfortable than ever and you can do it right in your own bed.

At The Restful Sleep Place, we are a holistic sleep clinic that looks beyond symptoms. We combine medical sleep evaluation with a whole-person approach that considers your hormones, stress, lifestyle, airway health, and overall wellness. And for many people, a home sleep test is the first step toward uncovering the root cause of chronic sleep problems.

Here’s everything you need to know about how the process works and how to take the next steps toward better sleep.

1. What Is a Home Sleep Test?

A home sleep test is a diagnostic tool used to evaluate sleep apnea and sleep-related breathing disorders — without needing to spend the night in a sleep lab.

It typically measures:

• Breathing patterns

• Oxygen levels

• Heart rate

• Airflow

• Snoring

• Sleep positions

For many patients, it’s the first step in identifying the source of chronic fatigue, loud snoring, or suspected sleep apnea.

2. Do You Need a Home Sleep Test?

You might benefit from a home sleep study if you struggle with:

• Loud snoring

• Gasping or choking at night

• Pauses in breathing

• Excessive daytime sleepiness

• Restless sleep

• Morning headaches

• Trouble concentrating

• Unrefreshing sleep

As a holistic sleep clinic, we evaluate not just the symptoms but the possible drivers behind them, including nasal congestion, airway size, hormones, weight, stress, and lifestyle.
