    :biggrin_25510:There is no home sleep aphnea test the only to get diagnosed is to get a sleep study. and you need that sleep study to properly set your cpap yes there are automatic machines where you can set a range and they will adjust like the s9 autoset and phillips resperonics system one but the thing is you need a perscription by a doctor to buy any cpap machine or equipment if you do have a problem get tested it will completly change your life for the better

    Except if you buy it from a private party, there is no script needed.

    I have a friend that is a student at a trucking company in the Midwest. The perspective new employees at orientation that met certain criteria for SA were tested overnight in their hotel room with some sort of simple device. The next day doctors interpreted the results.....some got a CPAP machine and some required a more extensive sleep study and some were diagnosed with no sleep disorders. If a CPAP was needed the company took care of the costs of the sleep study and CPAP and put them on a repayment program.

    These are the folks I just went through for my test:

    Looks like they have quite a few locations. At the one here in ATL, if you are self-pay, the at home test is $300 and they will do it for $150 down and three monthly payments of $50.
