Frequenty asked questions about sleep tests

  • Why should I do a sleep test?

    If you are not satisfied with your sleep quality or if you have symptoms such as fatigue, drowsiness, snoring, lack of concentration, or a decreased ability to effectively perform everyday tasks, a sleep test might be helpful.

    Also, sleep disorders are often associated with diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease.

  • Who can do a sleep test?

    The test is designed for people who are 12 and over, weigh more than 30 kg, and do not have a pacemaker. Additionally, a smartphone or tablet is required to perform this test.

  • How will the device analyze my sleep?

    The device has three sensors: one goes on the chest, a second on the wrist, and the third on a finger. These sensors collect data about sleep, including pauses in breathing, snoring, blood oxygen levels, heart rate, and body positioning. They provide a quick assessment of your sleep stages.

  • What is the difference between a home sleep test and a test in the lab?

    The home test is often the preferred method for diagnosing sleep apnea, especially in people with symptoms such as daytime sleepiness, pauses in their breathing, snoring, and non-restorative sleep. The test is accessible and can be done in the comfort of your own home at your convenience.

    By contrast, the laboratory sleep test, called polysomnography, provides a more comprehensive and detailed sleep analysis. Given in a controlled environment, the test can be used to diagnose sleep apnea, as well as other sleep disorders. With the help of an electroencephalogram (EEG), a test that uses sensors attached to your head, it is possible to accurately detect the different stages of sleep, evaluate its quality, and pinpoint when it is disturbed. Several other sensors can help identify what exactly disturbs your sleep, such as leg movements. You can make an appointment at one of our service points for a laboratory sleep test.

    If you are not sure which test is right foryou, talk to one of our respiratory therapists.

  • Can I do the lab sleep test over several nights?

    No, the test is done over a single night. However, you can choose the night that suits you best. We recommend that you choose what is an average night for you.

  • What happens if I can’t sleep the night of the lab sleep test?

    You will have the opportunity to provide detailed information about your experience on a morning questionnaire. Our team will analyze the information and the data collected by the device. Based on this analysis, we will determine whether you need a new test without additional cost.

  • Will my insurer reimburse me for the test?

    Most insurers will reimburse you for the test if it was prescribed. If you aren’t sure, we recommend that you check with your insurer beforehand. If necessary, we can provide you with an estimate. Feel free to contact us for further information.

  • Who can prescribe a sleep test?

    A doctor, dentist or specialized nurse can prescribe a sleep test.

  • Can I order a sleep test for someone else?

    Yes. In this case, please provide the persons full contact information: email address, home address and all other required information. This information is essential for programming the device and monitoring the results.

  • Will I see a healthcare professional after the test?

    Your test will be interpreted by a sleep medicine specialist. When you get your results, you will be offered an appointment with a respiratory therapist to discuss the medical specialist’s recommendations.
