Do you often feel tired, even after what seems like a full night’s sleep? Does your partner complain about your loud snoring or pauses in breathing at night? These could be signs of sleep apnea, a serious sleep disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. The first step toward getting treatment is a proper sleep apnea test, and thanks to modern technology, you can now complete this important test in the comfort of your home.

At Shutize, we provide the NightOwl® Home Sleep Apnea Test, a compact, disposable device that delivers clinical accuracy without requiring an overnight stay at a sleep clinic.

Understanding Sleep Apnea

Sleep apnea occurs when your airway becomes blocked or collapses during sleep, causing your breathing to stop and start repeatedly. These interruptions can happen dozens or even hundreds of times in a single night. As a result, your body doesn’t get the oxygen it needs, leading to poor sleep quality and serious health risks.

Symptoms that may suggest the need for a sleep apnea test include:

• Loud or chronic snoring

• Frequent waking during the night

• Gasping or choking sounds during sleep

• Excessive daytime fatigue

• Morning headaches or dry mouth

• Poor concentration and irritability

Because many symptoms occur while you’re asleep, sleep apnea often goes unnoticed until a test confirms it.

Why a Sleep Apnea Test Matters

Untreated sleep apnea is more than just an inconvenience—it can be life-threatening. Research shows it increases the risk of:

• High blood pressure

• Heart disease and stroke

• Type 2 diabetes

• Weight gain and metabolic issues

• Memory problems and depression

A sleep apnea test allows specialists to measure your breathing patterns, oxygen levels, and sleep disruptions, so you can get an accurate diagnosis and start the right treatment.

Traditional Sleep Testing vs. At-Home Testing

In the past, the gold standard for diagnosing sleep apnea was polysomnography (PSG), an overnight test conducted in a sleep laboratory. While reliable, this type of testing can feel overwhelming. Patients are connected to wires, sensors, and machines in an unfamiliar environment—conditions that may not reflect their usual sleep.

A home sleep apnea test (HSAT) solves this problem by bringing the test to you. Devices like the NightOwl® let you sleep in your own bed while still capturing the critical data specialists need. This makes the testing process more comfortable, natural, and convenient.

Who Should Take a Home Sleep Apnea Test?

Consider an at-home sleep apnea test if you:

• Snore loudly or disruptively

• Experience frequent daytime fatigue

• Have a family history of sleep apnea

• Struggle with high blood pressure or heart problems

• Notice frequent waking or restless sleep

Even if you’re unsure, taking a simple home test can give you clarity and peace of mind.

What Happens After the Test?

If your sleep apnea test confirms that you have sleep apnea, treatment options may include:

• CPAP therapy – Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machines keep your airways open while you sleep.

• Oral appliances – Dental devices reposition your jaw or tongue to improve airflow.

• Lifestyle changes – Weight loss, exercise, and improved sleep hygiene can reduce symptoms.

• Surgery – In severe cases, surgical procedures may be recommended.

The goal is to restore normal breathing during sleep and improve your overall health.
