Home Sleep Testing (HST) FAQs | Advanced Sleep Medicine Services, Inc.

What is a Home Sleep Test?

A Home Sleep Test (HST) is a convenient, comfortable way to test for a sleep disorder like sleep apnea. It takes place in the comfort and convenience of a patient's own home.

Prior to the test, the patient is instructed by a technician on how to use the home-testing machine. The patient then goes home, turns on the machine, and sleeps in his own bed while the machine records metrics like pulse and the effort with which the patient is trying to breathe. It is a simple, comfortable way to ascertain if you are suffering from a sleep disorder.

How do I schedule a Home Sleep Test?

After your doctor refers you for a HST, a patient care coordinator from Advanced Sleep Medicine Services will contact you to schedule your Home Sleep Test. Please be sure that your physician’s office has your most up-to-date contact information, such as a cell phone, work number and email (if any), so that we can reach you.

If you would like us to contact your doctor to request a sleep study for you, you can also fill out the form below.

How will I receive the Home Sleep Test device?

There are two options for receiving your HST device: in-person pick-up from one of our sleep center locations or mail delivery.

If you receive the device in person, you will pick up the HST device the day before your sleep study from a sleep technician who will show you how to use the device.

If it is sent by mail, the machine will be shipped to you directly. Once you are finished with the machine, you will ship it back to us. You never even have to leave your home!
