If by that you mean successfully pretend you have sleep apnea in order to scam your insurance company into paying out, then no, you can’t. Not successfully anyway. Unfortunately, technology is far harder to trick than a human is.
In order to convince a highly efficient piece of technology - like a CPAP machine - that you have sleep apnea, you would have to not only continuously hold your breath, but somehow evidence in your blood work a lack of oxygen.
Whilst the first sounds slightly easier than the second, both are difficult and would be hard to pull off - most sleep studies are conducted by medical professionals, and if they’re not doctors, they’ll still be able to tell a fake from a mile away.
Secondly, the process requires being monitored during your entire sleep schedule, several times, so you’d have to pretend to be asleep AND hold your breath AND avoid not drifting off, all whilst lying down in bed all cozy.
Not only will you have to stay awake all night - because falling asleep means no longer being able to fake the symptoms of sleep apnea - but basically stop breathing every other minute for long enough that the body appears to be lacking oxygen.
Likewise, it’s pretty much impossible to fake snoring realistically, as well as fake obstructions to your breathing (in the nose or chest for instance) that aren’t actually there. You would have to be a medical marvel AND an Oscar-winning actor.
It’s also worth knowing that the technology being used in the majority of contemporary sleep studies, even those conducted at home, will have been manufactured with technology that can detect falsified results or ‘cheating’.
Even if you are able to mimic the symptoms of sleep apnea and keep yourself awake for eight hours, chances are the technology will be able to distinguish between your falsification and the results of a real sufferer.
As technology advances, so too does it become less and less possible to get away with things like this. Believe us - insurance companies do not want to pay for this equipment if they don’t have to, so they do everything in their power to avoid it.
Again, not only will this definitely fail, but attempting to defraud either the sleep clinic, your insurance company, or both, is only going to get you in trouble with the law. Not to sound like a square, but abiding by the rules and doing things properly is your best bet for a successful treatment… if you’re after that and not trying to scam money!
