Choosing a sleep apnea clinic is the first step when snoring, interrupted sleep and constant fatigue begin to have an impact on your daily life. But before you think about treatment, it’s worth knowing what’s going on while you sleep.   Home Sleep Studies Australia provides a simple home sleep study so you can do a test without spending the night in a clinic. The test is completed in your own bed and gives you the facts you need about your sleep and breathing. Key Offerings   • Home sleep test • Monitors breathing, oxygen levels and sleep cycles • Detects signs of sleep apnea • Results sent to specialist sleep doctors • Clear report with the next steps.   It may be helpful to pay attention to the way you feel each morning.
