just fyi the current at home test is basically a wristwatch with a light finger oxygen sensor, https://www.itamar-medical.com/watchpat-home-sleep-testing-m....

It seems that the APAPs should be able to be bought without a prescription, and besides inertia I'm not sure why it is.

Dang.. my sleep center is way behind. Had a take-home sleep study last week and I had to have the chest strap and finger sensor. Pain in the butt, but worth the data it captured. Going on APAP after trying for 6 years to work with an oral appliance after not being able to tolerate CPAP.
