What is a Home Sleep Test?

A Home Sleep Test (HST) is an essential diagnostic tool designed to measure sleep habits and screen for conditions such as sleep apnea and other sleep disturbances or disorders. Quality sleep is a cornerstone of an effective treatment plan, as disrupted sleep can significantly impact mood, energy levels, and overall mental health.

Understanding sleep patterns and identifying any underlying sleep disorders is crucial for effectively treating chronic health conditions. After the report is reviewed by a Salience Health provider, we will work to coordinate an effective treatment plan for you.

Safe and Effective

Conducted over the course of one or two nights, the HST gathers comprehensive data on sleep patterns. Using a small wrist-mounted device, the test monitors various physiological parameters, such as breathing, heart rate, and oxygen levels, to identify any irregularities or disruptions in sleep. Once completed, the test generates a detailed report that provides invaluable insights into sleep health.
