You may not necessarily need a prescription to book your sleep study. You may directly book the study from our website if you have a strong suspicion that you are suffering from OSA or have a talk with our Sleep Consultant if you have any queries.

A sleep study is a non-invasive and painless procedure and it is expertly setup to minimise discomfort. You can move freely in bed and there is little interference to your sleep.

Take our sleep apnea screening Quiz Now to know if you have Sleep Apnea.

A Level 1 study records your heartbeats, brainwaves, and breathing as you sleep. It also charts your eye movements, limb movements, and blood oxygen saturation. It is attended by a sleep technician.
Level 2 study is just like level 1 study but unattended.
Level 3 sleep study uses a device that records fewer parameters than level 1 It is the most commonly done study.
Level 4 refers to sleep apnea screening with only oximetry which measures blood oxygen levels and heart rate monitoring.

Sleep study is for a single night. If a CPAP titration study is required, it’s a single separate night after the main study.

In 2007, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine issued a clinical guideline declaring that home sleep apnea tests were equivalent to in-lab sleep studies for the diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in at-risk patients.

We at booksleepstudy uses state-of-the-art machines from both Philips and ResMed. The devices we use are Alice Night One and Resmed Apnea Link for Level 3 studies. We use Philips Alice PDx for level 1 and Level 2 studies.

If a sleep study determines you have OSA, you might need a "titration study" to determine the pressure level required to maintain your airway during sleep.

When people say "sleep apnea machine" they mostly mean CPAP (the machine that treats sleep apnea). The first step is to see if you have sleep apnea, with a sleep apnea test. Then, if your sleep study does indeed show sleep apnea, you will need to get a prescription from a doctor for a CPAP machine to treat the disorder.

Overnight sleep studies in a sleep lab/hospital can cost anywhere from Rs. 14000-19000. Home sleep studies at www.booksleepstudy.com start from Rs. 3000/- only.

Should you test positive for obstructive sleep apnea, we can usually facilitate you seeing our sleep doctor online and getting a CPAP machine within a day.

Yes, the home sleep study test that we use is appropriate to determine if you have sleep apnea and, if so, whether you are a good candidate for an oral appliance for sleep apnea.

Yes, having a home sleep study while using your oral appliance for sleep apnea will let you know how well the device is working to treat your sleep apnea.

This is a common fear among people in the process of getting diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. For a home sleep study, the test is conducted by hooking only a few different sensors to the body. They are non-invasive, and it's intended to be comfortable so that a person can sleep peacefully. Most people are able to fall asleep with little trouble.

Yes, surely you can get out of the bed during the study. The device senses when you are standing up and automatically excludes this data from the study. Please do not take off or stop the test if you do get up during the night.

The nasal congestion and throat inflammation from a cold or environmental allergies have no effect on your sleep apnea test results - go ahead with the sleep study. If you've been diagnosed with something more serious, like pneumonia or influenza or covid, kindly inform us the situation.

: In general, the most accurate sleep study data will be obtained if the night of the sleep study is a typical night for you. We typically recommend that, if you take sleeping pills to sleep, then you do so the night of your sleep study. If you have further questions you can schedule an online sleep doctor appointment.

The test results will be emailed to you within 24 hours of test completion. They will also be sent to you by SMS/Whatsapp and will be certified by our sleep consultant.

The sleep study will tell you your apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). If your AHI is five or above, then you have sleep apnea. The report will also tell you about your oxygen levels including: how low did your oxygen drop during the night and how long was your oxygen level below normal (<90%)?At the end of the report, the doctor will give you a diagnosis. Finally, the sleep study report will give you treatment recommendations, which may include a CPAP machine or an oral appliance for sleep apnea.

If you are found to have Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA); CPAP(Continuous Positive Airway Pressure), may be prescribed for you. This common and effective treatment provides pressure to your airway through a machine that blows air. The airflow from the CPAP machine is delivered through a mask that fits on your face and covers the nose and or mouth. This air acts as a splint to keep your airway open during sleep. Snoring stops and restful sleep is restored. Risk factors associated with untreated OSA are greatly reduced when CPAP is used as prescribed by the doctor.

You can call on helpline 7021140211 or talk to our expert who will guide you about CPAP rental and buying the CPAP machine.

There are few CPAP alternatives for sleep apnea. Depending on the type and degree of sleep apnea, you may be a candidate for other treatments such as, oral appliances for sleep apnea, surgery, positional therapy, and lifestyle modifications.

Stages of Sleep

• Stage 1: The lightest sleep stage. Transitional stage from wake.
• Stage 2: The first true sleep stage.
• Stages 3-4: The deepest, most restorative sleep.
• Stage REM: The dreaming stage; Normally occurs every 60-90 minutes.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition that is caused by repetitive collapse of the upper airway (back of the throat) during sleep. For the purposes of sleep studies, episodes of full upper airway collapse for at least ten seconds are called apneas. Episodes of partial airway collapse for at least ten seconds that result in a significant blood oxygen level drop (3-4% depending on what criteria is used), a brain awakening, or both are called hypopneas. If a sleep study demonstrates an average of five or more combined apneas and hypopneas per hour, the study supports a diagnosis of OSA.

Common obstructive sleep apnea symptoms, signs, and risk factors include:

• snoring on the majority of nights.
• feeling unrefreshed after a full night's sleep
• frequent awakenings during the night.
• your bed partner voices concerns about abnormal breathing (such as that you stop breathing) in your sleep.
• excessive daytime sleepiness or fatigue.
• overweight (body mass index [BMI] 25-29.9) or obese (BMI ≥30).
• neck circumference ≥17" in men or ≥16" in women.
• cigarette smoking.

Other, more subtle signs may indicate OSA, such as:

• extremely restless sleep.
• waking up in the morning with headaches.
• night time acid reflux.
• needing to urinate multiple times during the night.

These factors may also influence sleep apnea risk:

• age: sleep apnea rates increase as we get older.
• sex: men have higher risk until women finish menopause, then risk equilibrates.
• structural jaw abnormalities, e.g. micrognathia (small lower jaw) and retrognathia (set-back, recessed lower jaw), narrow, high-arched palate (upper jaw), head shapes such as dolicocephaly (long, narrow head).
• family history.
• cigarette smoking.
• large tonsils, adenoids.
• allergies, asthma.
• alcohol consumption or sedative/hypnotic medications near bedtime.

OSA can cause or worsen numerous medical problems, reducing the quality and length of your life. Sleep apnea can cause:high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack, stroke, atrial fibrillation, sudden and premature death
