Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Your Home Sleep Test
Setting up your home sleep test is simple. Just follow these steps to stay comfortable while we collect the data needed for an accurate assessment of your sleep health:
- Prepare the Belt: Wrap the belt around your chest over a T-shirt or tank top and fasten the clip securely.
- Attach the Wire: Plug the loose wire into the belt’s slot. To reduce tangling, thread it through your shirt collar and down an arm.
- Fit the Finger Probe: Slide the finger probe onto the ring finger of your non-dominant hand so the raised bump sits over your fingernail. Remove any rings or nail polish, and use the provided tape to keep the probe snug.
- Secure the Wires: Tape the wire around your wrist or arm to keep it from moving during sleep.
- Insert the Nasal Cannula: If not already attached, screw the cannula in place. Position the rubber prongs so they curve toward your nostrils, loop them around both ears, and tighten the rubber stop near your chin. For extra security, place a small piece of tape on your cheeks.
- Ready for Bed: Once everything is set, simply go to sleep. The test will start automatically at the scheduled time, letting you rest as usual while the device collects essential data.
By following these steps, you’ll help us perform a thorough evaluation of your sleep health right from your own bed, ensuring a smoother path to a better night’s rest.
