Sleep Apnea Testing

Sleep plays a pivotal role in our overall well-being, affecting our daily lives and long-term health. However, many individuals remain undiagnosed with sleep apnea, often unaware that treatment of the disorder could vastly improve their lives.

Accurate testing and diagnosis are the first vital steps in addressing this condition. At Complete Health Sleep SoCal, we provide convenient at-home testing, allowing you to take the first stride toward better sleep and a healthier life.



At-home sleep testing gives us valuable data about your breathing, oxygen levels, and sleep patterns. While we can't provide a diagnosis ourselves, we use these results to screen for signs of sleep-disordered breathing and coordinate directly with a physician or sleep specialist, who reviews your results and confirms a diagnosis. From there, we work together to build a treatment plan that's right for you.

Why Accurate Testing Matters

Accurate testing matters. We coordinate with a physician/sleep specialist for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Expedited Sleep Testing for Commercial Drivers & Pilots

If your career depends on your certification — whether you're a commercial driver needing DOT compliance or a pilot required to meet FAA medical standards — sleep apnea isn't just a health issue, it's a professional one. Untreated sleep apnea can jeopardize your certification, and delays in diagnosis or treatment can mean delays in getting back to work.

We understand the pressure of tight timelines, and we offer expedited sleep testing and treatment specifically for drivers and pilots who need answers fast. Our team works efficiently to:

• Schedule and complete sleep testing on an accelerated timeline
• Provide clear, compliant documentation for DOT or FAA requirements
• Fast-track treatment options, including oral appliance therapy, to help you meet certification standards without unnecessary delays

If your job — and your certification — is riding on getting evaluated and treated quickly, we're prepared to move at the pace you need.

Benefits of Using At-home Sleep Tests

You may think of sleep tests as in a lab connected to multiple tubes and wires. In some cases, lab testing may be required to test for sleep disorders. At-home testing is accurate and effective in almost all cases, and our sleep professionals use this method to provide you with a cost-effective way to get your condition diagnosed.

We recognize the value of at-home sleep tests for diagnosing sleep disorders, including sleep apnea. By conducting your sleep test at home, you can comfortably gather valuable data on your sleep patterns and quality in a familiar environment, allowing for a more accurate assessment of your sleep health.

Here are the benefits of using at-home sleep tests:

➜ Convenience:

At-home sleep tests eliminate the need for overnight stays at a sleep practice, providing a more convenient and comfortable testing environment.

➜ Familiar Setting:

Testing in your own bedroom allows for accurate results as you sleep in your typical surroundings.

➜ Cost-Effective:

At-home tests are often more budget-friendly than in-lab sleep studies. In some cases, in-lab studies can be covered by insurance. Otherwise, they may cost thousands of dollars out of pocket. With or without insurance, at-home tests are affordable and worth the investment.

➜ Accessibility:

They provide access to essential diagnostic tools for those who may have difficulty traveling to a sleep practice.

➜ Effective Diagnosis:

At-home tests can offer reliable results, making them a practical choice for identifying sleep disorders like sleep apnea.

➜ Time Efficiency:

You can maximize your time by avoiding the need to schedule and attend overnight practice visits.

These benefits make at-home sleep tests attractive for individuals seeking accurate sleep disorder diagnoses while prioritizing comfort and affordability.

How At-Home Tests Work

What to Expect From Your At-Home Test

Your at-home sleep test is simple to use and designed for a full night's sleep in your own bed. The device records key data — including breathing patterns, oxygen levels, and sleep disturbances — that our team reviews and shares with a physician or sleep specialist for diagnosis. Once your results are in, we'll walk you through what they mean and what your next steps could look like.

How it works:

— Pick up your device or have it shipped directly to you
— Wear it for one night while you sleep normally at home
— Return the device using the provided instructions
— We help coordinate the review of your results with a physician or sleep specialist

➜ Effectiveness:

Oral device therapy is clinically proven to treat sleep apnea

➜ Approval:

Oral device therapy is approved by the FDA, demonstrating its safety and effectiveness.

➜ Compliance:

These devices are more realistic to use over the long term than large, uncomfortable, loud machines on the market.

➜ Portability:

These devices are easy to travel with, making them an ideal treatment when not at home.

➜ Cost:

These devices are cost-effective and, in many cases, are covered by health insurance or Medicare.

➜ Safety:

Unlike CPAP, the most popular oral devices haven’t been subject to safety recalls in recent years.

➜ Cleanliness:

These devices are easy to clean and practice good hygiene with.

Complete Health Sleep SoCal offers these devices for patients with diagnosed sleep apnea. Our Southern California-based sleep professionals focus on providing custom-made devices that we build in-house.

Common Diagnoses

These are some of the most common diagnoses you may receive after taking an at-home test.

➜ Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder characterized by recurrent interruptions in breathing during sleep due to the relaxation and collapse of the throat muscles and tissues, resulting in disrupted sleep patterns and reduced oxygen intake. It often leads to symptoms such as loud snoring, daytime fatigue, and an increased risk of various health issues. OSA is treatable with oral device therapy, which is an FDA-approved method that removes airway obstructions by repositioning the jaw and the tongue.

➜ Snoring

Snoring is the sound produced during sleep when the flow of air causes the tissues in the throat to vibrate. While common, chronic snoring can sometimes be a sign of underlying sleep disorders like sleep apnea and can lead to disruptive sleep for both the snorer and their sleeping partner. Snoring alone can disrupt your sleep and overall health. Our sleep professionals also treat snoring with oral device therapy.

Other common diagnoses include central sleep apnea and complex sleep apnea syndrome. The device also provides CSR probability detection.
