What is a Level 3 sleep study?

• A Level 3 Sleep Test is a portable sleep test performed in the patient’s home. This test is used to screen moderate uncomplicated sleep apnea but is not able to diagnose other sleep disorders.

A Sleep study is recommended for the following conditions:

• Sleep apnea or another sleep-related breathing disorder: In this condition, your breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep.
• Periodic limb movement disorder: In this sleep disorder, you involuntarily flex and extend your legs while sleeping. This condition is sometimes associated with restless legs syndrome.
• Narcolepsy: You experience overwhelming daytime drowsiness and sudden attacks of sleep in this condition.
• REM sleep behavior disorder: This sleep disorder involves acting out dreams as you sleep.
• Unusual behavior’s during sleep: Your doctor may perform this test if you do any unusual activity during sleep, such as walking, moving around a lot or rhythmic movements.

Unexplained chronic insomnia: This is a condition where you consistently have trouble falling asleep.
