A guide to ResMed onesleeptest^: A home sleep test

Are you concerned about whether you are getting the quality sleep you need to awaken your best every day? If you often feel like a zombie even after a full night's sleep, it may be time to consider a sleep test. A sleep test or sleep study is similar to wearing an activity tracker, but it measures the quality of your sleep rather than the number of calories burned!

One popular option for a home sleep test is the ResMed onesleeptest. The test involves wearing a small device for three nights and answering a few questions. The device measures and records your sleep and is then passed on to a sleep physician for thorough analysis, in conjunction with the results from your sleep questionnaire.

Here are some commonly asked questions to guide you on how to use onesleeptest.
