Sleep studies are the diagnostic tool used to identify sleep disorders. These are performed under the care of sleep professionals in one of two settings: in-lab or a home sleep test. There are pros and cons to each environment, but make no mistake. Completing an in-lab study is proven to be much more effective and controlled than a home sleep test.
