Sleep Apnoea Screening Test

To start the screening test, click on the first section. We will process your results and email them to you shortly after the test. This test is used along with your take home sleep test and is only as accurate as your answers.

How to test for sleep apnea

These are some of the worrisome symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA):

  • Are you tired?
  • Feeling sleepy during the day?
  • Moody?
  • Waking up during the night?

Taking steps towards reducing the risk of OSA is important as leaving sleep apnea untreated can lead to serious health implications such as:

  • strokes
  • heart failure
  • diabetes
  • high blood pressure

Whilst other providers may recommend you to an overnight stay at a clinic or multiple nights at a hospital facility, we have made the sleep apnea diagnosis process easy, simple and affordable for you.

After Your Sleep Study

If your sleep apnea screening test comes back as positive, then it is likely you have sleep apnea.

The most common form of therapy for sleep apnea is to use a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine for the duration of your sleep.

If your results show that you do need a CPAP machine, we will support you every step of the way. One of our CPAP professionals will help you to select the correct mask, machine and accessories to precisely suit your needs - leading to a much better quality of life!

Frequently Asked Questions

Warning signs such as excessive daytime sleepiness and loud snoring may indicate symptoms of sleep apnea. Whilst, our online sleep test will give a risk indication, a conclusive diagnosis can only be made through our overnight home sleep apnea test.

Sleep apnea occurs when the airways become blocked or collapses during the night. The most common cause of sleep apnea is excessive weight and obesity. However, other causes could be large tonsils, a small jaw, a large overbite or a large neck. 

You can get tested for sleep apnea either through laboratory based sleep tests or home based sleep tests. If you choose to do the latter, at the convenience of your own home, a device attached to you while you sleep will monitor your breathing, oxygen levels and breathing effort.

Simply attach the sensors to your body as instructed and start the sleep test by pressing the central button when you are in bed. When you wake up in the morning, remove the sensors. The device may then be returned by mail or back to one of our clinics for an analysis.

Once you have completed a full nights sleep of 4 hours or more and have sent the testing kit back to us, please allow 7 - 14 days for the results to come back from the lab.

Within the report, the Apnea Hypopnea Index (AHI) and oxygen desaturation levels are the primary indicators of OSA. AHI is the number of apneas recorded during the study per hour of sleep whilst the latter measures reductions in blood oxygen levels. We will call you to explain and discuss your results once they come in.

The online sleep test is used as an indicator based on your answers to see if an overnight home sleep testing kit will be worthwhile.
