Convenient Home Sleep Apnea Testing
At White Sage Sleep, we know that sleep is more than just rest—it’s the foundation of your health, your energy, and your joy in life. When sleep is disrupted by something as serious as sleep apnea, it can feel like everything else begins to unravel.
The exhaustion, worry and uncertainty about what’s happening to your body—it can be overwhelming. That’s why we’re here to offer you a path to reclaiming your nights and restoring your days.
Home sleep apnea testing (HST) is designed with your comfort and peace of mind at heart. Understanding what’s affecting your sleep shouldn’t add to your stress. You can begin to find the answers you need from the comfort of your own home, knowing that a warm and compassionate team is with you every step of the way.
We’re here to help you feel supported, cared for, and empowered as you take this crucial step toward better sleep, better health, and a better life.
How Physician-Directed
Home Sleep Tests (HST) Work
Home sleep tests are physician-directed, meaning a healthcare professional oversees the entire process to ensure accuracy and reliability. After a thorough consultation with a sleep specialist, you will be provided with a small, easy-to-use device that you’ll wear while you sleep in your own bed.
The device monitors your breathing, oxygen levels, heart rate, and other important data throughout the night. Once the test is complete, the data is sent back to the clinic, where the team will carefully analyze the results. We then work with you to interpret these results and discuss the next steps in your treatment plan.

You can take the test in the familiar setting of your own home and avoid the discomfort of sleeping in a clinical environment.
Accurate Results
Home sleep tests reflect your typical sleep patterns and lead to more accurate diagnoses.
Prompt action
Early detection allows you to begin treatment sooner, improving your sleep and overall health more quickly.

How Home Sleep Tests Work
Taking a home sleep test is simple and straightforward. You’ll receive a small, lightweight device that’s easy to set up and use. The device often includes a nasal cannula to measure airflow, a pulse oximeter that clips onto your finger to monitor blood oxygen levels, and a chest belt to track your breathing and heart rate.
Sleep study rings are also used. These are placed on your finger like a normal ring and measure the same indicators. However, they do not require the use of a cannula, a chest belt, or for you to connect wires and sensors. Other devices are available, such as watches.
Before bed, you’ll attach the sensors according to the provided instructions. The device will record data throughout the night while you sleep as usual. You’ll return the device to us in the morning and our team will analyze the data to determine if you have sleep apnea.
