Preliminary Sleep Apnea Testing

Sleep apnea is a common but often undiagnosed sleep disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by repeated pauses in breathing during sleep, leading to disrupted sleep, daytime fatigue, and potential long-term health risks. 

At Alternatives for Self Healing, we recognize the importance of identifying sleep apnea early on to improve sleep quality and overall health. Our Preliminary Sleep Apnea Testing offers a non-invasive and convenient way to gather initial insights into your sleep patterns, helping you take the first step towards better sleep.

Why Preliminary Sleep Apnea Testing is Essential 

Many people with sleep apnea are not aware of their condition, leading to a lack of proper diagnosis and treatment. Preliminary Sleep Apnea Testing serves as an initial screening tool to identify potential sleep issues and guide individuals towards appropriate medical care.  Early detection and intervention can significantly improve sleep quality, daytime functioning, and overall health, reducing the risk of complications related to untreated sleep apnea.

How Preliminary Sleep Apnea Testing Works

At Alternatives for Self Healing, we use the Lookee Ring Monitor for our Preliminary Sleep Apnea Testing. This non-invasive, wearable device is placed on your finger during sleep and monitors various parameters, such as blood oxygen levels, heart rate, and body movements. By analyzing this data, we can gain insights into your sleep quality, identify any irregular patterns, and determine if further evaluation is necessary.

Benefits of Preliminary Sleep Apnea Testing

1. Non-invasive and comfortable: The Lookee Ring Monitor is a user-friendly, wearable device that causes minimal discomfort during sleep.
2. Accurate insights: By monitoring multiple parameters, the Lookee Ring Monitor provides a comprehensive picture of your sleep patterns and potential sleep apnea issues.
3. Convenience: Preliminary Sleep Apnea Testing can be performed in the comfort of your own home, without the need for an overnight stay in a sleep lab.
4. Personalized recommendations: Based on the data collected, our team can offer tailored advice and guidance on improving sleep quality and addressing potential sleep disorders as well as refer you to your Primary Care Provider for further testing.
5. More than 1 night of testing: We gain accurate insights into your sleeping and oxygenation patterns because we test a minimum of 3 consecutive nights (and up to 5 consecutive nights if your practitioner requires more data) to gain a holistic picture into your possible sleep apnea, not just one night like conventional testing.
