Do you snore loudly, feel exhausted during the day, or frequently wake up at night? These could be signs of sleep apnea, a condition that disrupts your breathing while you sleep and puts your health at risk. For years, getting tested meant spending the night at a sleep clinic—hooked up to wires, struggling to rest in an unfamiliar bed. But not anymore.
Thanks to innovative devices like the NightOwl® from Shutize, you can now take a sleep apnea test at home, comfortably and accurately.
What Is Sleep Apnea—and Why Should You Get Tested?
Sleep apnea is more than just snoring. It causes your breathing to stop and start throughout the night, leading to poor-quality sleep and a lack of oxygen to your brain and body. Left untreated, it increases the risk of:
Heart disease
High blood pressure
Stroke
Type 2 diabetes
Memory issues and mood disorders
Yet many people remain undiagnosed, often because they don’t want to go through the hassle and discomfort of a traditional sleep study.
This is where NightOwl® steps in with its revolutionary at-home sleep apnea testing solution.
The NightOwl® Difference: Easy, Accurate, and Comfortable
