What is a Level 2 Sleep Study?​

A Level 2 Sleep Study, or Polysomnography, is a non-invasive test that monitors your sleep patterns, brain wave recording, heart rate, and breathing.

This comprehensive, home-based study provides detailed insights to help diagnose sleep disorders and improve your sleep quality. ​

It is the most accurate type of home-based sleep study available with respiratory physician scoring, reporting and interpretation- Comparable to an in-lab sleep study unlike most other home-based sleep studies that utilises a level 3 device that simply implements AI generated scoring and does not encompass brain wave recordings.​
