They are not quite as thorough as an attended study, but are still effective at diagnosing disorders like Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).<\/span><span><br \/>\nFor a home sleep test, you are set-up with equipment to wear overnight, which is then returned in the morning so that the collected data can be examined.<\/span><span><br \/>\nRegardless of the type of sleep test, a follow up appointment is important so that you can discuss the results with your doctor and work out what sort of treatment is required.<\/span><span><br \/>\nIf you, or someone you know, struggles with getting good quality sleep then talk to a doctor.
