Why did you get a sleep test done?
Danielle C.: Hi there. My name is Danny, and I wanted to come on here and share my positive experience at Sleeptest.com. Uh, the reason I decided to go and do a sleep test in the first place is actually because I was doing one for my son, and it turned out he had some mild sleep apnea. And as I was learning about the process of sleep apnea and actually how prevalent it is, I decided to just run out and see if I had it myself. I've noticed some changes in my patterns of sleep. And what really did it was a couple of months ago. I was sleeping and I kind of woke up gasping for air, and that's one of the things that I read could be sleep apnea. I've also read that there's a lot of risk, a lot of cardio metabolic risk involved if you don't address underlying sleep apnea. So I figured, what, what do I have to lose? My biggest setback is just my busy life. You could see that I'm talking in my car. I have 3 boys, a very busy life, a full-time job. I'm in outside sales. I'm a road warrior. I'm always Running around. So, the ease, um, and reliability of sleep tests is really what made it nice for me, um, and gave me some answers in a very accessible way. So, the process was very easy. Um, I went and signed in online, made an appointment. The first step was just to meet with a physician via Zoom, which I love. Um, and I'm, and that went great. They just kind of set those expectations of how the sleep test will work. And they talked about the device and just what to expect. And then quickly after a device was sent to me, it was a very comfortable ring that I wore at night when I went to sleep, collected a few nights of data, and then I stuck it back in the envelope. There was a return envelope in the package that made it very easy for me. I just dropped it in the mail and it was sent back to them. And then the results came back pretty quickly as soon as I was notified. Via email through the portal, I made an appointment with a physician that I met with online via Zoom, again, who shared the results and relayed that I actually do have a mild sleep apnea. Um, I don't think I would have had this answer. To my suspicion, had I gone a more traditional route where you have to go into an office and meet with a physician, I just have a very busy schedule, schedule, when I was able to accomplish the same thing in a quicker fashion online with very knowledgeable physicians. So, uh, now I have my next steps, um, a wearable device that I'll wear to hopefully help with the symptoms I'm feeling as, um, you know, symptoms of sleep apnea. Um, and I'm excited to get on the right track, so highly, highly recommend, um, don't hold back. I think answers are key. Uh, it's better to know than to not know. So, um, just know that the experience of Sleeptest.com was amazing. It will be easy, and it will give you answers quickly.
