I did a sleep study that was done at home. They just sent a device I clipped on my index finger, strapped around my chest and put a small tube around my nose.

It’s definitely still a little artificial, but it’s at home with no one live monitoring you. As long as you get some sleep they can use stats and all the various data to get an idea of what’s going on.

“Hmm, it seems the patient has trouble sleeping with a device clipped on their index finger, strapped around their chest and a small tube around their nose. Prescribe xanax. Next patient.”

  You’re being very uncharitable to people who have done this for most of their lives and likely are perfectly aware of the limitations

    You’re being very touchy about a throwaway line in a shitpost community

I wanted a home study so bad but my insurance veto’d it.

  I don’t even need a damn study. I snore loudly, wake up often if I don’t sleep on my side, and am overweight. I have OSA. There’s no real need for further diagnostics.
