Night Owl Home Sleep Test

The Ectosense NightOwl is an app-based home testing device for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Using your fingertip as a contact point, the NightOwl measures your breathing patterns to determine whether you meet diagnostic criteria for OSA.

The NightOwl Companion app allows you to pair the device with your phone and send data directly to your physician. Standard NightOwl devices are rechargeable and can record approximately 25 hours of data per charge. Ectosense also sells the NightOwl Mini, which costs less but can only be used 10 times.

As with other home-based sleep apnea tests, the NightOwl is more affordable and more convenient than undergoing an overnight sleep study. The device is also small and lightweight, so it shouldn’t lead to sleep disruptions.

We’ll cover how to acquire, set up, and use the NightOwl, how the device works, and additional steps you’ll need to take after completing your at-home test.
