Level 2 Sleep Study

Advanced sleep testing in the comfort of your home. A Level 2 Sleep Study provides a comprehensive assessment of your sleep and breathing patterns — helping identify sleep-related breathing disorders without an overnight hospital stay.

What is a Level 2 sleep study?

Comprehensive sleep testing, at home.

Do you snore loudly? Do you wake up feeling tired despite sleeping for 7–8 hours, or has your partner noticed pauses in your breathing while you sleep? These symptoms may indicate an underlying sleep disorder such as Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA), a condition that often goes undiagnosed for years.

A Level 2 Sleep Study is an advanced home-based sleep assessment that records multiple physiological parameters while you sleep, performed using specialised monitoring equipment you wear overnight in your natural sleeping environment. Unlike basic screening tests, it provides detailed information on breathing patterns, oxygen levels, sleep quality and potential sleep disorders.

At Healthy Chest & Sleep Clinic, Dr. Vishal Sharma offers Level 2 Sleep Studies as part of a comprehensive sleep medicine program designed to diagnose sleep disorders accurately and guide effective treatment.

Why is sleep testing important?

Sleep disorders affect far more than sleep.

Identifying the problem early allows timely treatment and better long-term health outcomes. Untreated sleep disorders can contribute to:

Daytime sleepiness

Excessive sleepiness throughout the day

Poor concentration & memory

Reduced focus and cognitive performance

High blood pressure

A common but overlooked contributor

Heart disease & stroke

Increased cardiovascular risk over time

Diabetes

Associated with metabolic disturbances

Increased accident risk

Mood disturbances and reduced productivity

Do you need a sleep study?

Signs that point to a sleep study.

You may benefit from a Level 2 Sleep Study if you experience any of the following warning signs.

Loud snoring

Persistent snoring is one of the most common warning signs of sleep-disordered breathing.

Daytime sleepiness

Feeling tired despite adequate sleep duration.

Witnessed breathing pauses

Family members notice that you stop breathing during sleep.

Morning headaches

Frequent headaches upon waking.

Poor sleep quality

Repeated awakenings or unrefreshing sleep.

Difficulty concentrating

Sleep disorders often affect memory, focus and cognitive performance.

Uncontrolled high blood pressure

Sleep apnoea is a common cause of resistant hypertension.

Obesity & weight gain

Excess weight raises the risk of sleep-related breathing disorders.

Conditions diagnosed

What a Level 2 study can reveal.

Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA)

Oxygen saturation

Measures oxygen levels while sleeping.

Heart rate

Monitors cardiovascular responses during sleep.

Body position

Identifies whether symptoms worsen in certain sleeping positions.

Respiratory events

Detects apnoeas, hypopnoeas and breathing interruptions.

Sleep quality indicators

Provides insight into overall sleep health.

No. Most patients adapt quickly to the monitoring equipment and complete the test comfortably at home.
Most studies are completed over a single night unless additional testing is required.
Yes. It is commonly used to diagnose Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and other sleep-related breathing disorders.
Dr. Vishal Sharma will review the findings with you and recommend an appropriate treatment plan based on the severity of the condition.
Better sleep begins with the right diagnosis
