On the latest season of Love is Blind, Netflix’s popular dating show, sleep apnea took a surprising star turn. Jordan Faeth talked openly about his sleep apnea, using a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device, and misperceptions around sleep apnea. In the age of normalizing taking control of your health through therapy, wearable tech, adult braces, and more, sleep apnea is next on the list. Faeth even talked about how sleep apnea and treating it didn’t get in the way of being intimate with his partner. And it’s a good reminder to get checked for sleep apnea, as 80% of cases go undiagnosed. Here are five reasons to get a home sleep apnea test from CPAP.com.
You May Have It and Not Even Know It
The simplest reason is that you might have sleep apnea. “Apnea” is when you stop breathing for a moment, with no movement in the muscles used to inhale air and nothing leaving the lungs. It’s like holding your breath without realizing it.
Contrary to popular belief, loud snoring isn’t the only sign of sleep apnea. If you wake up feeling exhausted or headachey, have a dry mouth, or show signs of sleep deprivation despite supposedly getting a full night’s rest, you might be one of the 30 million Americans with sleep apnea, 80% of which don’t have a diagnosis.
This at-home test allows you to sleep in your own bed instead of a lab bed and use small sensors and a phone app to monitor various metrics, which will be examined by an expert.
It Can Cause Problems Beyond Sleepiness
Sleep apnea can be a contributing factor to a wide range of issues. It can raise blood pressure and put strain on your heart, raise the risk of complications from surgery, aggravate metabolic syndrome, and cause a whole host of other problems. Good sleep is part of good health, and sleep apnea gets in the way of good sleep.

Fortunately, It’s Easy to Test For
The good news is that as sleep apnea becomes better known, it also becomes easier to test for and treat. Where before you might need to go for a full sleep study at a separate facility, experts at CPAP.com have developed testing systems that let you sleep in your own bed, using just two sensors tied to an app, to give you a better sense of your risk for sleep apnea. And because you’re in your own environment, you’re more likely to be relaxed and thus it’s easier to get clearer results.
