Snoring or sleep apnoea? Preparing for a sleep study
Loud snoring, choking or gasping during sleep, morning headaches and daytime sleepiness can be signs of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), where the airway repeatedly narrows or closes during sleep. Untreated OSA is linked to high blood pressure, heart problems and road accidents from drowsiness, so it is worth checking.
A sleep study records breathing, oxygen levels, heart rate and sometimes brain activity overnight. A home study uses a small device you wear in your own bed, while an in-lab study is done in a sleep room with more sensors. On the day, keep to your usual routine, avoid caffeine in the afternoon and alcohol in the evening, and bring your regular medicines and comfortable sleepwear. Results guide treatment, which may include CPAP, weight management, positional therapy or a referral to an ENT surgeon. Read more in our guides to obstructive sleep apnoea and CPAP.
