OVERVIEW

We naturally expect that snoring is normal. But you probably know by now that it’s a common sign of a serious sleep disorder.

We can take Dr. Yishan’s father as an example. For years, he has been experiencing severe snoring. After seeing an expert, he was eventually diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. Dr. Yishan herself, got diagnosed with another sleep disorder called upper airway resistance syndrome.

In this episode, Dr. Yishan will share with us the sleep study she’s recently conducted at home for her disorder. She’ll disclose to us the result she got and how you can analyze the numbers from the test. Tune in and find out if a home sleep test is for you!

If you go into the lab to sleep with a lot more devices on your body, that’s normally the most accurate test. But home study can still give us some data. - Dr. Yishan Xu
