A home sleep test is a diagnostic test than can determine whether or not you have obstructive sleep apnea. A home sleep test collects less information about your sleep and only detects obstructive sleep apnea. For certain people a home sleep test can be effective but there is also a high risk of error.
Sleep study. Sleep studies are tests that record the body activity during sleep. They are helpful in identification of sleep disorders. Polysomnography, a type of sleep study, is the gold standard to rule out obstructive sleep apnea. If a home study does not find obstructive sleep apnea, but the patient still complains of unrefreshing sleep and daytime sleepiness, an in-lab polysomnogram may be necessary to find other possible disorders.
