Let’s face it—no one wants to spend a night hooked up to machines in a cold sleep lab. And if you’re someone who suspects sleep apnea but keeps putting off a test because of that very reason, you’re not alone. The good news? Technology has changed everything. You can now take an accurate, reliable at home sleep apnea test using a fingertip sensor and your smartphone.
Meet the NightOwl® from Shutize—a disposable, ultra-compact home sleep test device that delivers clinical-grade results without wires, appointments, or the hassle of leaving your house.
What Is an At Home Sleep Apnea Test?
An at home sleep apnea test is a modern solution for people who want to diagnose sleep apnea without undergoing a traditional sleep study at a clinic. Instead of bulky equipment and overnight stays, you simply wear a small sensor, sleep in your own bed, and let the tech do the rest.
These tests are specifically designed to detect obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the most common type, where the airway gets blocked during sleep—causing you to stop and start breathing many times a night.
Why Choose the NightOwl®?
The NightOwl® by Shutize isn’t just another sleep monitor. It’s the smallest, most user-friendly device on the market for home-based sleep testing—and it’s backed by licensed medical specialists.
Here’s what makes NightOwl® stand out:
- ✅ Fingertip-worn sensor—no uncomfortable belts or masks
- ✅ Completely wireless and disposable
- ✅ Syncs with the NightOwl® Companion App (iOS & Android)
- ✅ Data is uploaded automatically to a secure cloud
- ✅ Reviewed by real sleep specialists, not just software
- ✅ Accurate and fast results
If you’ve been procrastinating on getting tested, this is the device that removes all the roadblocks.

Signs You Might Need a Sleep Apnea Test
Sleep apnea can sneak up on you, and many people live with it for years before seeking help. You should consider an at home sleep apnea test if you experience:
- Loud or frequent snoring
- Waking up gasping or choking
- Daytime fatigue or sleepiness
- Morning headaches
- Poor concentration or memory
- Mood swings or irritability
- Difficulty staying asleep
Even if you’re unsure, a test like NightOwl® can give you peace of mind.
Comfort + Accuracy = NightOwl®
What makes NightOwl® a top choice for patients and providers alike is the perfect balance of comfort and accuracy. Traditional sleep studies can be intimidating, uncomfortable, and hard to schedule. But NightOwl® allows you to gather professional-grade data while sleeping in your own bed—with zero interference.
Plus, because your body behaves more naturally in a familiar setting, the results can be more reflective of your typical sleep habits.
Trusted by Professionals
NightOwl® isn’t a consumer gadget—it’s a clinically validated medical device trusted by doctors and used in telehealth programs around the world. When your test is done, the data doesn’t sit in an app waiting for you to interpret it yourself. It’s reviewed by certified sleep specialists who understand what the numbers mean and can provide an accurate diagnosis.
This also means your test results can be shared with your primary care physician for follow-up care or treatment recommendations, such as CPAP therapy, if needed.
Affordable and Accessible Sleep Testing
Let’s talk about cost. One reason people avoid sleep testing is the expense—traditional lab-based studies can cost thousands of dollars. The NightOwl® at home sleep apnea test is not only more comfortable, but significantly more affordable, making it accessible to more people who need it.
What Comes After the Test?
If your NightOwl® results confirm that you have sleep apnea, the next step is working with a healthcare provider to determine the best treatment. This could include:
- Lifestyle adjustments (like weight loss, sleep position changes)
- CPAP or APAP therapy
- Dental devices
- Ongoing monitoring
The earlier you catch sleep apnea, the better your chances of avoiding long-term complications. NightOwl® helps you start that journey—without delays or stress.
Start Sleeping Better Tonight
The NightOwl® from Shutize is more than a device—it’s a doorway to better sleep, improved health, and a more energized life. With a simple fingertip sensor, a smartphone app, and professional support, it offers a powerful alternative to the traditional sleep lab.
