Sleep Apnoea Test at Home
Our In-Home Sleep Test provides a quick, convenient and affordable way to confirm Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) in your home.
Our detailed Home Sleep Study uses the revolutionary WatchPAT device, which provides accuracy comparable to Polysomnography (PSG), a method used in hospitals and sleep clinics for in-depth sleep analysis.
How does it work?
The WatchPAT device monitors your blood oxygen levels, heart rate, body position, body movements, snoring intensity, and, crucially, your Peripheral Arterial Tone – a critical physiological signal that can indicate breathing disturbances during sleep.
Despite being simple to use and comfortable to wear, the information it records gives our sleep technicians a comprehensive picture of your sleep, allowing them to return an accurate result.
Why choose the Sleep Apnoea Test?
Fast Results: Once you complete the sleep study at home, the results will be sent to you within two working days, allowing you to start treatment as soon as possible.
Convenient: The test’s simplicity means you can easily conduct it from the comfort of your home at a time that suits you.
Best Alternative to the Sleep Clinic: The WatchPAT device provides testing accuracy comparable to sleep studies completed in hospitals and sleep clinics.
Confidential: We do not share your results with anyone but yourself.
The device is the most clinically validated In-Home Sleep Apnoea Test. Its findings align closely with the gold-standard diagnostic tool (Polysomnography) utilised in sleep clinics. Our NHS-qualified sleep clinicians analyse each test and provide a report within your results letter.
Reliable: The test is the most clinically validated and accurate home sleep test; all data is reviewed by our NHS-trained clinicians, who have at least five years of experience. We are members of the ARTP and the BSS professional bodies and are in the process of gaining IQIP certification. We are trusted to provide a professional and reliable service and have been doing so for over ten years.
Which test option is best for me?
We offer two Sleep Apnoea home tests – Rapid and Standard. Both sleep studies are the same in terms of price and accuracy; the Rapid tests allow for results earlier than the Standard test because the data is transferred to us via your smartphone rather than waiting for the device to be posted back to us to download.
Before ordering the Rapid test, please ensure you have a compatible smartphone. You can download the WatchPAT Apple app or the WatchPAT Android app.
Don’t have a compatible smart device? No problem—you can order the standard test. Your results will take a little longer to arrive as you will need to post the device back to us.

Can anyone take an In-Home Sleep Test?
Our At Home Sleep Study services are only available to people aged 18 or over.
We also recommend not taking this test if your BMI is 45 or above. Any treatment will likely need to be overseen by a specialist, which is a level of care we cannot provide. Instead, we recommend discussing your sleep symptoms with your GP as soon as possible.
Do you use a CPAP machine? If you are an existing CPAP user, it is advised to pause using your therapy for five days before taking a sleep test.
What happens after I receive my results?
A confirmed diagnosis of Sleep Apnoea is required to treat the condition. In that case, we will make recommendations for suitable treatment options based on the data recorded, the medical history you provide, and the assessment of the sleep professional who analysed your test.
We provide all of the clinically proven treatment options, including CPAP therapy, positional therapy, mandibular advancement devices and more. It will provide detailed information and advice on your suitable treatment methods.
