What Is a Home Sleep Study?
A home sleep study is an overnight test that monitors your breathing, oxygen levels, heart rate, and sleep patterns while you sleep in the comfort of your own home. Using the easy-to-use WatchPAT™ ONE device, your results are reviewed by an accredited Australian Sleep Physician to help support discussions with your healthcare provider.
Why Sleep Matters?

What Is a Home Sleep Study?
Quality sleep is essential for your overall health and wellbeing. Poor sleep can affect your energy, concentration, mood, and daily performance. If you regularly experience loud snoring, daytime tiredness, morning headaches, or pauses in breathing during sleep, a home sleep study may help identify the cause and support discussions with your healthcare provider.
What is the WatchPAT™ ONE?
The WatchPAT™ ONE is a TGA-listed portable home sleep study device worn on your wrist for one night's sleep in the comfort of your own home. It is designed to accurately screen, detect, and support the follow-up of sleep apnea and other sleep-related breathing disorders.
What Does the WATCHPAT™ ONE Measure?
Using clinically validated technology, the WatchPAT™ ONE records multiple physiological signals throughout the night, including:
- Breathing patterns
- Blood oxygen levels (SpO₂)
- Heart rate
- Snoring intensity
- Body position
- Sleep stages (Light, Deep & REM)
- Respiratory events
- Peripheral Arterial Tone (PAT)
Together, these readings provide a comprehensive picture of your sleep, helping an accredited Australian Sleep Physician assess your sleep health and identify signs of sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea testing has never been so simple, accurate, and convenient—from the comfort of your own home.

The Home Sleep Study device measures 6 channels:
PAT—Peripheral Arterial Tone, which is a physiological signal that mirrors changes in the autonomic nervous system caused by respiratory disturbances during sleep
Oximetry—the measurement of oxygen levels in the blood
Actigraphy—the measurement of body movement while sleeping
Heart Rate—the number of heart beats per minute while sleeping
Body Position—notes whether you sleep on your back (supine), front (prone) or side, all which influence apnea
Snoring Intensity (dB)—loud snoring is a major indicator of sleep apnea
Sleep Apnea testing has never been so easy!
Why We Use WATCHPAT™ ONE?
At Sleep Studies at Home, we use the WATCHPAT™ ONE because it combines convenience with clinically validated technology. The lightweight, wrist-worn device is designed to collect detailed sleep information while remaining comfortable enough to wear overnight at home.
The WATCHPAT™ ONE received the 2020 National Sleep Foundation SleepTech® Award,
recognising innovative achievement in sleep technology.
WHO MAY BENEFIT FROM A HOME SLEEP STUDY?
A home sleep study may be suitable for adults who experience symptoms commonly associated
with sleep-disordered breathing.
You may wish to speak with your healthcare provider if you experience:
• Loud or persistent snoring
• Excessive daytime sleepiness
• Morning headaches
• Restless or interrupted sleep
• Witnessed pauses in breathing while asleep
• Difficulty concentrating due to poor sleep
• Suspected obstructive sleep apnea
A healthcare professional can help determine whether a home sleep study is appropriate for your
individual circumstances.
