There are many individuals who snore... but only a percentage of those who snore actually suffer from a sleep disorder like obstructive sleep apnea which has health consequences. Ideally, a formal sleep study should be performed to determine if any medical sleep issue is present given snoring is one of several symptoms that may suggest an underlying problem.
However, it is not uncommon that such snorers do not want to see a doctor let alone get a sleep study done.
For such individuals, it may be worthwhile to do a home sleep test using an AI-powered pulse oximeter like the Go2Sleep Ring Pulse Oximeter ([ Ссылка ]) demonstrated in this video and can be purchased online.
Such pulse oximeters are worn during the night while it continuously measures oxygen levels and heart rate while you sleep. These devices sync with a smartphone (apps are free) where the data is downloaded and analyzed.
These devices also come in many different forms including not just the ring, but also wrist, finger, and face. ([ Ссылка ])
Please be aware that such devices can not formally diagnose you with a sleep disorder... BUT, if it consistently shows abnormalities in your sleep (AHI more than 5), you most likely do have a sleep disorder and should get an insurance accepted sleep study done. BUT... If these devices show normal sleep data consistently, then you probably have normal or at worst a mild sleep disorder which may not need any medical intervention.
The nice thing with sleep devices like the Go2Sleep Ring Pulse Oximeter is that you can use it on as many nights as you want... or share its use with other family members. A definite advantage compared to a formal sleep study which is for one night only.
It also can vibrate when oxygen levels reach a certain user selected level; the vibration semi-arouses to restore breathing levels.
For the Go2Sleep ring, it comes with 3 different stretchable silastic ring sizes that can accommodate most adult fingers/thumb.
