Sleep testing is how healthcare teams diagnose sleep apnea. But depending on the type of test and the data it reports, there's so much more you can learn about yourself and how YOU sleep (at least the semi-controlled test environment).
Who This is For
Our Sleep Study Walkthrough service is intended for people who have had sleep testing (whether at home or in the sleep lab) and want a deeper level of understanding of their results.
If all you got by way of a results review was "You've got sleep apnea. Your AHI is [insert some number here]. We're ordering you a CPAP machine," you are probably missing out on the rich wealth of sleep knowledge living inside your data.

Before You Book Your Walkthrough
Before you sign up for this service, make sure you have a copy of your complete sleep test report (including hypnogram) in hand.
- The report will consist of written text (and possibly tables) describing your night.
- The hypnogram is the graph that actually shows your night in terms of the data collected. (Scroll down to see examples)
Your hypnogram (whatever it looks like) might not be automatically included in your report - so you'll need to request this specifically from the testing center.
What to Expect
Once you've confirmed that you have your sleep test report & hypnogram, you're ready to schedule your session.
- Pick a date & time that works for you
- Complete payment
- Complete our prep survey & service agreement
- Upload your sleep test report & hypnogram to our portal
- Show up on Zoom (camera & mic ON) when it's time
- Let us know if your plans or availability change
We've budgeted 45 minutes for this session (even though it's probably only going to take 30-40 minutes).
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I only have access to the written report but not the hypnogram?
If the written report is all that's available for review, a sleep test walkthrough can still be done...but it's not ideal.
The hypnogram is part of what helps to fill in the banks. Without it, you won't be able to as complete of a picture as you would otherwise.
