What a home sleep apnea test is
A home sleep apnea test (HSAT) is a doctor-ordered sleep study you perform overnight in your own bed instead of a sleep lab. An FDA-approved device records the signals that matter for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea — airflow, breathing effort, oxygen saturation, and heart rate — while you sleep normally. A board-certified sleep physician then interprets the recording and confirms whether sleep apnea is present and how severe it is.
Sleep apnea is common and frequently undiagnosed. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, insufficient and disordered sleep affects a large share of U.S. adults, and untreated obstructive sleep apnea is linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, and daytime impairment. Testing is the first step toward treatment that works.
How home sleep testing works with Nocturne Health
Complete a short intake
You complete a short intake form and have a telemedicine video visit with a physician — typically under 5 minutes — to approve your home sleep test. This video visit is included in the price.
The device ships to your door
An FDA-approved home sleep apnea testing device is mailed directly to you — no lab visit, no waiting list. It records breathing, airflow, oxygen levels, and other data while you sleep in your own bed.
Test at home for three nights
You wear the device for three nights, then return it with the prepaid label. Unlike services that score a single night, testing across three nights in your own bed accounts for night-to-night variation — so your result reflects how you actually sleep, not one unrepresentative night.
Get your results
A board-certified sleep physician interprets the recording — results are typically ready within 72 hours — and your sleep study report is emailed to you. If the study shows obstructive sleep apnea, a consultation is recommended (not required) to discuss treatment.
Why we test for three nights, not one
Sleep apnea doesn't look the same every night. How you sleep — and how often your breathing is interrupted — shifts with your body position, alcohol, nasal congestion, and how much deep and REM sleep you get. A single night can miss apnea entirely or make it look milder than it really is.
Many at-home testing services score just one night. We always record three nights in your own bed, so your diagnosis accounts for night-to-night variation and reflects your typical sleep rather than one unrepresentative night. It's a more complete picture — and it makes an inconclusive result far less likely.
Test Success Guarantee
A usable result, or your money back.
We stand behind every home sleep test. If your study doesn't produce a usable, interpretable result, you get your money back — testing across three nights makes that unlikely in the first place, and the guarantee covers you if it happens anyway.
Order the test — brief video visit included
The home sleep apnea test is $169 and includes a brief telemedicine video visit — typically under 5 minutes — to review your intake form and approve the test. No separate consultation fee. Your test results are sent to you upon return of the testing device.
If the study shows obstructive sleep apnea, we recommend (but do not require) a consultation to discuss treatment. Patients who already know they want to start CPAP can be issued an online CPAP prescription at no additional charge. A full consultation ($199) remains available for anyone who wants to talk through their results and options.

Order your home sleep test
Fill out the form below to order your test for $169. A brief call with a board-certified sleep physician is included to ensure the test is appropriate for you. You'll get a confirmation email right away, and your device ships once your order is approved. There is nothing to pay until then.
Is a home test as good as an in-lab study?
For most people evaluated for obstructive sleep apnea, yes. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) recommends that a technically adequate home sleep apnea test be used as an accepted alternative to in-lab polysomnography for diagnosing OSA in uncomplicated adults who show signs of an increased risk of moderate-to-severe disease.
In-lab polysomnography remains the reference standard, and it is the right test in specific situations — significant heart or lung disease, neuromuscular conditions, chronic opioid use, prior stroke, suspected non-breathing sleep disorders, or severe insomnia. The AASM also advises that if a home test comes back negative, inconclusive, or technically inadequate, an in-lab study should follow.
Because your care is guided by a board-certified sleep physician, you get a real clinical judgment about which test fits your situation — not a one-size-fits-all kit. For a deeper comparison, see home sleep test vs. in-lab study and how to choose an online sleep apnea test.

Start Your Sleep TestHome sleep apnea test: common questions
What is a home sleep apnea test?
A home sleep apnea test (HSAT) is a simplified, doctor-ordered sleep study you perform overnight in your own bed. An FDA-approved device records airflow, breathing effort, oxygen saturation, and related signals. A sleep physician then interprets the data to determine whether obstructive sleep apnea is present and how severe it is.
Is a home sleep test as accurate as an in-lab study?
For diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea in uncomplicated adults at increased risk of moderate-to-severe OSA, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine considers home sleep apnea testing with a technically adequate device an accepted alternative to in-lab polysomnography. In-lab studies remain the reference standard and are recommended when there are significant heart or lung conditions, neuromuscular disease, or suspicion of other sleep disorders — or if a home test is negative, inconclusive, or technically inadequate.
Why do you test for three nights instead of one?
Sleep apnea doesn't behave the same way every night — how you sleep is affected by body position, alcohol, nasal congestion, and how much deep and REM sleep you get. A single night can miss apnea entirely or make it look milder than it really is. Many home-testing services record just one night. We always record three nights in your own bed, so your diagnosis reflects your typical sleep rather than one unrepresentative night.
What is the Test Success Guarantee?
We stand behind our testing. If your home sleep test doesn't produce a usable, interpretable result, you get your money back — no hassle. Occasionally a sensor comes loose or a night doesn't record cleanly; testing across three nights makes an unusable study far less likely in the first place, and the guarantee covers you if it happens anyway.
Do I need a consultation, insurance, or a referral?
No insurance, referral, or prior authorization required. The $169 price includes a brief telemedicine video visit — typically under 5 minutes — where a physician reviews your intake form and approves the home sleep test. There is no additional consultation fee. All services are HSA/FSA eligible, and we can provide an itemized receipt.
How quickly will I get my results?
Most patients receive interpreted results within 72 hours of returning the device. We then schedule a follow-up visit to review everything together and discuss next steps.
Who should not use a home sleep test?
Home testing is not appropriate as a first-line test for everyone. People with significant heart or lung disease, neuromuscular conditions, chronic opioid use, prior stroke, suspected non-breathing sleep disorders, or severe insomnia are generally better served by an in-lab study. Your physician will determine the right test for you during your consultation.
