If you wake up alone in the morning because your partner had to go sleep on the couch to get a good night's sleep, it might be time to call a professional.

If you find yourself falling asleep, again, at the 2:00pm meeting in the boss's office, it might be time to call a professional.

If you are tired of feeling tired, all day, every day... Well, you get the idea.

Excessive daytime sleepiness is one of the most common symptoms of sleep apnea, a sleep disorder that affects as many as 20 million Americans.

When you and your doctor are ready to figure out what ails you, you might come visit us here at Advanced Sleep Medicine Services, Inc. Your physician may suggest an in-center sleep study or it might be that a home sleep test is the appropriate route for you.

What is a home sleep test?

For the home sleep test, you'll come in to one of our convenient locations throughout California to pick up your equipment for the test; you could also request that we ship the device to your home or office. One of our highly qualified and extremely patient technologists will sit down with you to explain how to set up the equipment. Once you understand the process, you'll go home, follow the technician's instructions and lie down in your own room, in your own bed, for a good night's sleep. In one night, the device will record your oxygen saturation and breathing effort to determine if you have sleep apnea.

What are the advantages of home sleep testing?

In addition to being much convenient and comfortable, because the home sleep test is less expensive than a sleep center test, it is covered by many insurance companies. However, some patients do not qualify for home sleep testing because of other medical conditions.

So, is it that time? Is your quality of life and the quality of your health suffering because of your sleep difficulties? Are you tired of being tired?

If it's that time, contact us today to request a sleep study.
