Home Sleep Studies

Sleep studies are the best way to determine if your sleep is normal, or if you have a sleep disorder. At every sleep study, you have many wires attached to your head and upper chest, and a device placed on your chest to record the data. You can still eat and go to the toilet. Then you go to sleep as usual, and in the morning, remove all the wires and you can shower if required. Sleep studies only take one night.

 

There are many types of sleep studies conducted in South Australia, so you need to ensure that the one you are about to have will give you the correct results. We use an up to the minute high quality recorder called a Nox. This is approved by Medicare and Sleep Specialists alike.

 

Home sleep studies are only able to be claimed from Medicare once every 12 months. Other criteria to claim from Medicare include being over 18, and having a valid Medicare card.
