A home sleep apnea test is probably a better option than a clinic sleep apnea test if you want to avoid bothering other people in your bedroom and if you can afford the cost. Home sleep apnea tests are usually more convenient, and many people report sleeping better in their own bed than at a clinic. However, home sleep apnea tests are not always accurate, and they may not be affordable for everyone. If your doctor recommends polysomnography to detect sleep apnea, you can ask whether a home study may be an appropriate alternative.
