  • Paul

    I had been having a lot of problems with severe sleep apnoea, had been very sleepy during the day, and was low on energy. The Better Sleep Clinic offered a great service to evaluate my condition, and how severe it was. They provided a great service and were on hand to offer fantastic advice when I needed it. Now I'm back to normal, no more sleepiness and back to myself again

  • Ian W

    The test arrived within 48 hours of ordering. It was very simple to use. I had my assessment and CPAP machine delivered within days. I have been using this for 2 weeks now and no longer fall asleep when I sit to watch television or feel drowsy during the day.

    My Wife says that I no longer snore, this was a big problem in that we were in separate rooms so she could sleep. I have had 2 follow up appointments all of which were on line. I can’t recommend this company highly enough.

  • Pamela J

    The test is easy to use and the turnaround time for results was within a day or 2.

  • Nigel D

    The test was easy to conduct and the results were very helpful. I bought a CPAP machine from them and they arranged an online consultation within days on how to use the machine. After which it arrived within 2 days. Use of the machine was immediately successful with more restful sleep and feeling much more alert during the day.

    Absolutely no more daytime sleepiness now!

  • Clare C

    Equipment arrived very promptly and was straightforward to use - the instructions were very well presented and helpful.

    The report that followed was well written, detailed and thorough and has really put my mind at rest and given helpful suggestions for how I can improve the quality of my sleep which is incredibly helpful. Thank you!

  • Simon T

    It was easy. Received sleeping kit, simple to set up, all data sent automatically. The sleep report was very clear and concise.

  • Neil

    The Better Sleep Clinic posted a next-day service of a diagnostic sleep kit (Watch Pat One) and a comprehensive results report. Using their services then allowed me to quickly obtain, not just the CPAP equipment, but also a complete video-conferencing support for fitting and maintenance. Follow-up services have been excellent, with e-mailed reports on the use and effectiveness of the treatment and support with diagnostic results required by the DVLA.

    I have received ongoing support with selection of masks and machine settings. Sleep index fell to 5 on first day of use, highly recommended.

  • Phoebe

    I bought a sleep apnea test from the Better Sleep Clinic company. It arrived promptly and was so easy to us. Thanks So great to be able to access this service from home without having to wait to see my GP (who is impossible to get through to at the moment) and then wait again to be referred to a consultant).

  • New List Item

    I have had an excellent experience with the Better Sleep Clinic. I had been waiting 2 years for my NHS sleep clinic appointment before I decided to try the Better Sleep Clinic. The sleep apnea evaluation was fast and easy, and I was able to buy and have my CPAP machine set up soon after. I have immediately seen a massive improvement in my quality of life.

    Particular thanks to sleep physiologist Emily Cannadine for guiding me through CPAP setup and monitoring. Thank you

What does the home sleep test measure?

The home sleep test measures a number of different things:

  1. Blood oxygen levels

  2. Heart rate

  3. Nervous system activity (called peripheral arterial tone, or PAT)

  4. Movement (known as actigraphy)

  5. Snoring pattern and volume

  6. Chest movement and breathing effort

  7. Body position

This information is put together to decide whether your body is going through repeated episodes of stopped breathing, or other changes associated with different sleep disorders. This is in addition to the fascinating details on your nightly sleep architecture including the amount of time spent in the different stages of REM and non-REM sleep (also known as light, deep and dreaming sleep).
