Home Sleep Studiesin Bellevue, WA

Though snoring is the most common symptom of sleep apnea, not everyone who snores suffers from the sleep disorder. Additional signs of the sleep disorder to look out for include:

• Excessive daytime fatigue
• Morning headaches
• Recent and sudden weight gain
• Inability to focus/concentrate
• Gasping for air while sleeping
• Waking up with a sore or dry throat
• Reduced libido
• Lack of energy or motivation

If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms, give us a call at (425) 646-6409 and we’ll schedule a consultation with Dr. Doneskey. He’ll review your medical history, give you a thorough exam, and determine if you would benefit from a sleep study.

The only way to find out whether you suffer from sleep apnea is to undergo a sleep study. We proudly offer at-home sleep studies for maximum convenience and comfort for our valued patients in Bellevue, WA. 

It’s designed to monitor your sleeping patterns for an accurate diagnosis by a board certified sleep physician. Getting a proper diagnosis is crucial for determining the best, most effective solution for treating your condition.

Home sleep studies typically require patients to wear a testing device for two consecutive nights, monitoring at least seven hours of sleep. To make it easier, our Bellevue staff will assist you in ordering a home sleep test and explain the process to you in detail. We’ll also send the results to a board certified sleep physician for a precise diagnosis, so you’ll have one less thing to worry about.

On the day of your study, it’s important to try to follow regular habits as much as possible. This can help prevent your sleep schedule from being thrown off and invalidate results. However, there are several things you can do to better prepare yourself for an at-home sleep study. Dr Doneskey recommends:

• Keep away from caffeine after noon
• Eat a full, well-balanced dinner
• Avoid napping on the day of your test
• Eliminate distractions in the bedroom
• Try to wind down several hours before going to bed
