Is it time to get retested?

If you had a sleep test done over a year ago, you might be surprised to learn that those results may no longer be considered valid.  Here’s why that’s the case, and why it might be time to consider getting retested.

Why Sleep Test Results Expire

Sleep health can change. Sleep disorders like sleep apnea can progress over time, particularly if you've gained or lost weight, developed new health conditions (like high blood pressure or diabetes), or experienced increased stress or lifestyle changes. What was mild a year ago may now be moderate—or vice versa.

Technology keeps improving

Advancements in home-based sleep testing have made assessments faster, more comfortable, and more accurate. A new test from Sleep Efficiency could give you a clearer picture of your sleep health.

Benefits of Getting Retested

Confirm your current sleep health status. Reassessing your sleep ensures that any treatment you're receiving—like CPAP, dental devices, or lifestyle interventions—is still appropriate and necessary.

Update your care plan

If your condition has improved, you may need less intervention. If it’s worsened, timely adjustments can protect your long-term health.

Bottom Line

Your sleep isn’t static—and your testing shouldn’t be either. If it’s been over a year since your last sleep study, now is the perfect time to check in on your nighttime health. A quick, simple home sleep test from Sleep Efficiency could give you peace of mind—or the information you need to get your sleep (and your health) back on track.
