We have a very important question for you. Right now. Right in this very moment: how jolly are you feeling?<\/em> Are you bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and raring to ring in Auld Lang Syne? Bursting with so much energy, you simply cannot wait for more family feasts, chats with curious cousins, shopping and wrapping and shopping wrapping and\u2026? If so, then we raise our glass of cheer to you and only ask that one day you share some of your secrets with the rest of the class!<\/p>\n\n

If, however, you are feeling more sloggy than jolly, we get it. In fact, according to SleepApnea.org<\/a>, an estimated 22 million Americans suffer from Sleep Apnea.<\/a> So, a lot of us get it. But the good news is that we have streamlined the entire sleep apnea diagnosis process thanks to the massive strides in at-home sleep test technology.<\/p>\n\n

Read on to see how easy it is to (finally) give yourself the gift of sleep this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

What is an At-Home Sleep Test?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n

Back when grandpa walked to school uphill both ways, a sleep test\u2014or sleep study\u2014required an overnight stay in a sleep lab, with the patient (you) hooked up to a bajillion wires while nurses monitored your sleep. As I\u2019m sure you can imagine, many folks found it difficult to actually sleep under these circumstances, which required, yep, even more laboratory sleepovers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Today, though, with the WatchPAT ONE<\/a>, we are able to utilize everyday items like your smartphone and The Cloud to monitor every single metric we need in order to diagnose sleep apnea after just one night of sleeping in your own bed<\/em>. And the icing on this cake is that the whole unit is disposable so you don\u2019t have to send anything back to us!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
