Sleep Issue We Diagnose

Sleep Issue We Diagnose

Healthy sleep is essential for physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Unfortunately, many people live with undiagnosed sleep disorders that silently affect their heart health, brain function, productivity, and overall quality of life. At Sleep Study At Home, we specialize in identifying a wide range of sleep problems through accurate, clinically validated home sleep studies, all supervised by qualified sleep specialists.

Our goal is to help you understand why you are not sleeping well and guide you toward effective treatment—comfortably from your home.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

Obstructive Sleep Apnea is one of the most common yet underdiagnosed sleep disorders. It occurs when the airway repeatedly collapses during sleep, causing breathing pauses and sudden drops in oxygen levels.

Common symptoms include:

• Loud, chronic snoring
• Gasping or choking during sleep
• Excessive daytime sleepiness
• Morning headaches
• Poor concentration and memory
• High blood pressure or heart issues

Our home sleep study accurately measures breathing patterns, oxygen levels, airflow, and sleep disturbances to diagnose OSA and assess its severity.

Central Sleep Apnea (CSA)

Central Sleep Apnea occurs when the brain fails to send proper signals to the muscles responsible for breathing during sleep. Unlike obstructive apnea, this condition is related to neurological or cardiac causes.

Symptoms may include:

• Interrupted sleep with frequent awakenings
• Shortness of breath at night
• Chronic fatigue
• Insomnia
• Underlying heart or neurological conditions

Our advanced sleep monitoring helps differentiate central apnea from obstructive apnea, ensuring precise diagnosis and appropriate medical guidance.

Snoring Disorders

Not all snoring is harmless. Chronic or loud snoring can be a sign of airway obstruction and often indicates underlying sleep apnea or breathing resistance.

Through home sleep testing, we evaluate:

• Snoring frequency and intensity
• Airflow limitation
• Oxygen drops during sleep

This helps determine whether snoring is benign or medically significant.

Hypopnea and Sleep-Related Breathing Disorders

Hypopnea refers to partial airway obstruction that reduces airflow and oxygen levels during sleep. Though less dramatic than apnea, it can still cause fragmented sleep and long-term health risks.

Our sleep studies detect:

• Shallow breathing events
• Oxygen desaturation episodes
• Sleep fragmentation

Early diagnosis prevents complications such as fatigue, cardiovascular strain, and metabolic issues.

Nocturnal Oxygen Desaturation

Some individuals experience dangerously low oxygen levels during sleep, even without obvious apnea symptoms. This is commonly seen in patients with:

• Lung diseases
• Obesity
• Neuromuscular disorders
• Cardiac conditions

Our home sleep study continuously monitors oxygen saturation throughout the night, helping identify hidden respiratory risks.

Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS)

If you feel tired despite sleeping for adequate hours, an underlying sleep disorder may be responsible.

We investigate causes such as:

• Sleep apnea
• Poor sleep efficiency
• Repeated micro-arousals
• Breathing irregularities

Identifying the root cause helps restore energy, alertness, and productivity.

Insomnia Linked to Breathing Disorders

While insomnia is often thought to be psychological, many patients suffer from insomnia due to undiagnosed breathing disturbances during sleep.

Our diagnostic approach helps identify:

• Sleep fragmentation
• Frequent arousals
• Underlying respiratory causes

This allows for targeted treatment instead of long-term dependency on sleep medications.

Sleep Problems Affecting Heart and Brain Health

Undiagnosed sleep disorders significantly increase the risk of:

• Hypertension
• Heart attack
• Stroke
• Irregular heart rhythms
• Diabetes

Our sleep studies provide crucial data that helps doctors prevent serious complications through early diagnosis and timely intervention.
