Home Sleep Testing Devices

Unlike consumer smartwatches, We have 3 types of FDA cleared devices available. They can include a finger sensor (pulse and oxygen measurement), nasal tubing (airflow), and a chest band (breathing effort) to track your quality of sleep. Or simply just a sensor adhered to your fingertip!

Convenient & Local

We offer set up and technical support in clinic.
Devices are available for pick up at one of our local offices. Some devices can be shipped to your home!

Advantages of Home Sleep Testing

Convenient & Comfortable

Test in the comfort of your own home and sleep in your own bed.

Easy to Use

Simple, portable equipment with easy-to-follow instructions.

Ideal for screening for sleep apnea in many patients.

Faster Scheduling & Results

How It Works

Pick up your home sleep testing device and receive instructions.
Use your home sleep testing for two or more nights, based on your individual instructions.
When home sleep testing is complete, return the device to one of our offices if necessary (this depends on the device type).
Confirm a follow-up visit in 1-2 weeks to review your results with one of our healthcare professionals

Inconclusive results:

Occasionally a home sleep test may produce inconclusive results. This could be due to poor quality or insufficient sleep during testing, mild/borderline cases not picked up by home testing, or technical difficulties. In these cases, a formal study in our Sleep Lab is recommended.

Our Sleep Lab provides high-quality service at a significantly lower cost compared to many hospital-based sleep labs.

Faster Insurance Approvals

We streamline the process for you.

Quicker Scheduling & Results

Less waiting, faster answers, better sleep.

High Quality Care You Can Trust

Advanced technology and expert sleep specialists.

When to Use Our Sleep Lab

An in-lab sleep study may be recommended if your symptoms are more complex or if a home sleep test produces inconclusive results. Sleep Lab testing allows for more detailed monitoring and can help diagnose a wider range of sleep disorders in a controlled environment. It may also be recommended for patients with certain medical conditions or ongoing symptoms that require closer evaluation by sleep specialists.

Most Accurate Results

Monitors brain activity, breathing, oxygen levels, heart rate and more for a detailed diagnosis.

Best for Complex Cases

Recommended if symptoms persist or you have underlying conditions such as cardiac or pulmonary issues.

Monitored by Sleep Experts

Overseen by trained professionals throughout the study.

Detects Multiple Sleep Disorders

Identifies a wide range of sleep disorders beyond sleep apnea.

Dallas Sleep Health has an in-house sleep lab at our Plano office.

What to Expect During Your Sleep Lab Visit

We understand that spending a night in a sleep lab may feel unfamiliar. Our goal is to make your experience as comfortable, simple, and stress-free as possible while gathering the information needed to support your health.

1. A Comfortable, Simple Overnight Experience

Spending a night in our Sleep Lab is a little different from your usual routine, and that is perfectly okay. Many patients worry about not sleeping well, but even a partial night of sleep gives us valuable information. The entire process is safe, non-invasive, and completely painless. There are no needles or injections involved.

2. A Smooth Start to Your Evening

Your visit will typically begin at 8:30 PM or 9:30 PM. When you arrive, our team will welcome you and guide you through the process so you feel comfortable from the very beginning.

3. What to Bring for Your Stay

We recommend bringing your pajamas, toiletries, and a change of clothes. Many patients prefer to head straight to work the next morning, and we make that easy with on-site shower facilities and fresh towels available for your use.

4. Dinner and Snacks

We encourage you to have dinner before arriving, as meals are not provided. You are welcome to bring light snacks or water to enjoy before bedtime. For added convenience, a nearby 7-Eleven is located next door.

5. Relax in a Private, Comfortable Room

You will stay in a quiet, private room designed to feel similar to a hotel. After you change into your nightwear, one of our experienced sleep technicians will gently apply sensors to monitor your sleep. This process is painless and typically takes about 45 minutes. During this time, you can unwind by watching TV or simply relaxing.

6. While You Sleep

Once you are ready, you can go to bed just as you would at home. Throughout the night, a trained technician will monitor your sleep from a separate room. We will gather important information such as brain activity, breathing patterns, oxygen levels, heart rate, snoring, and body movements. This detailed data helps your provider better understand your sleep and overall health.

7. Wake Up and Get Ready for Your Day

In the morning, usually around 6:00 AM, the sensors will be gently removed. You will have time to shower, get dressed, and head out for the day feeling informed and supported.

Insurance or Self Pay Options

Our services, if in-network, are billable to insurance.
