A home sleep apnoea test (HST) is a portable sleep study performed in your home. It records breathing patterns, oxygen levels, snoring and respiratory effort.
Compared with in-lab polysomnography (PSG), a home test is more straightforward, convenient and suitable for patients with a high likelihood of OSA. However, PSG may still be required for complex cases or when other sleep disorders are suspected.
According to ACE-HTA and MOH guidance, a home sleep test is recommended for adults (≥18 years) who:
Important: A credentialled sleep medicine specialist must interpret all HST results to ensure accuracy and quality of care.
A home sleep test is not for everyone, but it can benefit people who show certain signs, symptoms, or risk factors linked to obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).
If you experience any of the following, you may benefit from a sleep test at home:
Some people may not notice obvious symptoms but are still at higher risk. Common factors include:
While convenient, home sleep tests may not be the right choice for everyone. You may require an in-lab study if you have:
If you recognise these symptoms or risk factors, a home sleep test could help you take the first step in understanding your sleep health.
Despite the popular use of Body Mass Index (BMI) in clinical practice, it is a poor tracking tool for weight change—there’s no way to find out if changes in your weight are in fat or muscle by BMI alone.
On the other hand, a body composition assessment can tell you how much of your overall weight loss is due to either water, fat, or muscle loss.
Whatever your goals may be, an important thing to remember during your health journey is that there’s more to being healthy than looking thin.
The device tracks airflow, snoring, respiratory effort, oxygen saturation and pulse, providing a detailed picture of your sleep quality.
You can undergo the test in a familiar environment, reducing anxiety and helping you sleep more naturally compared to a hospital setting.
Home testing often has quicker scheduling and faster turnaround for results, allowing you to address sleep concerns without long delays.
Home sleep tests are usually more affordable for patients who fit the criteria than full overnight sleep studies in a laboratory.
The test eliminates the need for hospital admission, letting you continue your daily routine with minimal disruption.
Home sleep tests are mainly designed to detect obstructive sleep apnoea. Central sleep apnoea involves the brain’s control of breathing and usually requires in-lab evaluation.
Since the device is self-administered, sensors may become dislodged during the night, which can affect the accuracy of the results.
Individuals with conditions such as severe heart disease, advanced lung disorders, or neuromuscular disease often need closer monitoring in a sleep laboratory.
Some cases may go undetected or produce unclear results, making follow-up with an in-lab study necessary for confirmation.
A home sleep test is generally safe, painless and non-invasive, making it suitable for most patients. Serious complications are infrequent, but there are a few minor considerations to be aware of.
Results are usually available within a few days after returning the device. Once the data is analysed, our sleep specialist will review the findings and schedule a follow-up consultation to discuss your next steps.
Yes. Our team provides clear training and written or video instructions so you can set up the device correctly. Most patients find it simple to wear overnight with minimal disruption to their sleep.
If you are diagnosed with moderate to severe sleep apnoea, your ability to drive safely may be affected, especially if left untreated. Always follow your doctor’s recommendations before resuming driving.
Sometimes results may be unclear due to sensor issues or borderline findings. In such cases, your doctor may recommend repeating the HST or proceeding with an in-lab polysomnography for a more detailed study.
Some insurance plans may cover home sleep tests, depending on your policy. In Singapore, subsidies may be available if you meet the Ministry of Health’s eligibility criteria.
The devices are compact and portable, making them easy to use in most settings. However, it’s best to follow clinic guidance to ensure accurate results and proper handling during travel.

After a few sessions, my DR gap improved and i also noticed less bloating. I can fit into my clothes better too.

Jodie has been such a great help in my health journey! She really took the time to help me understand my body and gave super practical tips that actually fit into my daily routine. I learned so much about portion control, and I love how she explained how nutrition and exercise can be adjusted around the menstrual cycle — it made everything click for me. She’s knowledgeable, approachable, and easy to talk to. I feel a lot more confident now about making choices that work for me. Highly recommend her!

Prologue Wellness takes a truly holistic approach to weight management and well-being. Instead of quick fixes, they focus on educating clients about proper nutrition, helping us build sustainable habits that improve both health and quality of life.
I also love their Clinical Core & Flow programme, which combines physiotherapy, Pilates, and yoga. It creates a supportive environment for women of all fitness levels.
On top of that, they offer innovative non-invasive treatments like Exion Body, Vanquish Me, and EmBody. These complement their holistic programmes perfectly by supporting body contouring, fat reduction, and muscle strengthening in a safe, effective way.
The team, especially Jodie, Shonia and Serene, are professional, caring, and genuinely invested in their clients’ well-being. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a place that integrates science, movement, and holistic care.

The staff’s warmth, support, and use of technology have helped me improve my postpartum core muscles and pelvic floor health

The struggles of postpartum recovery are real, and I’m so thankful to have found Prologue, a women’s wellness centre that truly understands and supports mothers like me.
Like many postpartum mums, I’ve been dealing with diastasis recti, a bulging tummy that makes me look pregnant, urinary incontinence that limits my activity with my kids, and difficulty losing pregnancy weight due to stress eating and late nights.
Since starting my personalised treatment plan here, I’ve seen real improvements. Weekly sessions with my nutritionist, Jodie, have helped me eat in a balanced and sustainable way. Physiotherapy sessions with Chloe and Jodie have strengthened my core and pelvic floor, while the Emsella chair has improved my incontinence. Embody treatments are helping with my DR, shockwave therapy is reducing bloating and stretch marks, and Exion Body treatments are tightening loose skin.
I’m truly grateful for the professional, encouraging, and caring team at Prologue who have supported me every step of the way. Highly recommended to any postpartum mother looking to recover, rebuild, and regain confidence.

I had a a great experience at Prologue Wellness. The staff was friendly, professional, and efficient from the moment I walked in. The facility was clean and well-organized, and consultant and doctor took the time to explain everything clearly.Highly recommend!
Valerie Boh
Would highly highly recommend this place to postpartum ladies. Other than the many machine services to help with various issues such as DR, weak pelvic floor muscles and loose skin, they also have trained nutritionist and physiotherapist to help provide a holistic recovery experience! Truly glad that Proloque team has helped to resolved my DR and I have seen improvements in my core and pelvic floor muscles! Lastly, the space here is nicely done up and the team of ladies here are very friendly and professional.
