I never understood the point of a sleep study. How is this highly artificial environment supposed to deliver helpful results? How are you supposed to sleep at all in this kind of environment?
I did a sleep study that was done at home. They just sent a device I clipped on my index finger, strapped around my chest and put a small tube around my nose.
It's definitely still a little artificial, but it's at home with no one live monitoring you. As long as you get some sleep they can use stats and all the various data to get an idea of what's going on.
"Hmm, it seems the patient has trouble sleeping with a device clipped on their index finger, strapped around their chest and a small tube around their nose. Prescribe xanax. Next patient."
You're being very uncharitable to people who have done this for most of their lives and likely are perfectly aware of the limitations
You're being very touchy about a throwaway line on a shitpost community
I wanted a home study so bad but my insurance veto'd it.
I don't even need a damn study. I snore loudly, wake up often if I don't sleep on my side, and am overweight. I have OSA. There's no real need for further diagnostics.
I think it's about the few minutes when you do actually sleep, to determine if you have sleep apnea.
They only need to capture one sleep cycle anyways.
they can still compare it to other people doing a study.
A sleep study is a diagnostic tool, not a research one. You have them when your doctor suspects sleep apnea and such.
For sleep apnea for example which only happens when you are asleep they only need you to be asleep and then they monitor when it happens then adjust air pressure etc and see if that helps.
Their equipment is much more precise than for example CPAP machine, so they get more exact data.
