Sleep apnea disrupts the sleep cycle and can dramatically impact energy, mental performance, and overall health.
Snoring. Fatigue. Restlessness. Headaches. Poor focus. Dry mouth.
These are all symptoms of sleep apnea, a disorder which blood oxygen drops while you are sleeping. This constant drop in oxygen, and subsequent arousals, prevent you from obtaining a good night of sleep. Over time sleep apnea takes a toll on you heart, lungs, and brain and is highly associated with increased risk of:
There are two types of sleep apnea.
Obstructive- the tissues in the back of your throat and mouth collapses during sleep
Central- incoordination of the brain and respiratory muscles
These are very different diseases with different causes and treatments, so it is important that a sleep study can discern between the two.
Traditional in-lab sleep studies are inconvenient, uncomfortable, and expensive, often costing >$3,000.
Home sleep apnea studies are simple, acurate, and much more cost effective. NeuroNow is proud to offer home sleep apnea tests using the WatchPAT ONE device. Advantages of the WatchPAT ONE include:
Multivariable monitoring including blood oxygen level, heart rate, vascular tone, body positioning, movement, respiratory pattern and effort, and snoring
Acurate true sleep time
Analysis of sleep architecture from light sleep to deep sleep and REM sleep
Composite score of hypopnea and apnea events
Determination of obstructive vs central sleep apnea
