  • Free shipping
  • HSA and FSA cards accepted
  • Refunded if your intake isn't approved

A partner physician reviews your health intake before your test ships.

How the night works

Pair the sensor with the free myAir app, slip it onto your index fingertip with a fresh wrap, and sleep as you normally would. If a night doesn't record properly, the app tells you why and adds a night.

What you need at home

A phone or tablet with iOS 18 or Android 11 or later, plugged in at your bedside overnight. There is nothing to send back afterwards.

Who it's for

Adults 22 and older with suspected obstructive sleep apnea. The NightOwl doesn't detect central sleep apnea, so if your history points to another sleep disorder, the physician may recommend an in-lab study instead.

How the test works

Four steps, all from home. The physician's read and your results call are part of the test.

  1. A man at his kitchen table in the morning, looking at his phone
    Intake reviewBefore your test ships

    Step 1: Order online

    Answer a short health intake. A partner physician reviews it before your test ships.

  2. The same man asleep in his own bed, the sensor on his index fingertip
    One nightIn your own bed

    Step 2: Sleep one night

    Wear the NightOwl on your fingertip in your own bed. No belts, tubes or chest leads.

  3. A physician's hands writing notes beside a laptop
    Sleep physician readIncluded in the test

    Step 3: A physician reads it

    Your study uploads in the morning, and a sleep physician interprets it.

  4. The same man in an armchair at home, talking on a video call
    Results callIncluded in the test

    Step 4: Talk it through

    About 30 minutes, one-to-one by video with your Somni Sleep Consultant.

After your call, you can start the treatment the physician recommends, such as CPAP with a fitted mask. Testing doesn’t commit you to CPAP.

Reviews from our customers

  • Everything was so simple.

    I was able to do everything from home, and I always knew what the next step was. Somni made the entire process feel much easier than I expected.

    Kristin S.Verified customer

  • I wish I had done this sooner.

    I kept putting off getting tested because I thought it would be a hassle. The home test was easy, and Somni made the entire process feel seamless.

    Richard C.Verified customer

  • So much easier than a sleep lab.

    I loved being able to take the test from my own bed. The instructions were clear, everything was convenient, and I finally got answers about my sleep.

    The whole experience was straightforward from start to finish. I never felt confused about what I needed to do or what was happening next.

The ResMed NightOwl

A single sensor for your index fingertip, worn with a fresh wrap each night. No belts, nasal tubes or chest leads.3 Its scoring has been evaluated against in‑lab sleep studies.4
Peripheral arterial tone
An optical sensor reads changes in the fingertip's blood vessels that follow disrupted breathing.
Blood oxygen (SpO2)
How much oxygen your blood carries through the night, read from the same fingertip.
Pulse rate
Your heart rate across the night.
Movement
Recorded alongside the other signals for the whole night.
Why it matters
Most sleep apnea is never diagnosed. In one study, 82% of men and 93% of women with moderate to severe sleep apnea had not been diagnosed.5

0.11 oz · Up to 10 nights per sensor · FDA-cleared

Questions about the test

  • The sensor sits on your index fingertip and records peripheral arterial tone (changes in the fingertip's blood vessels that follow disrupted breathing), blood oxygen, pulse rate and movement. There is no nasal tube or chest belt. The study is autoscored, then a sleep physician reviews and interprets it.

  • ResMed has validated the NightOwl's scoring against in-lab polysomnography in published clinical studies. Home testing is an accepted way to test adults with suspected obstructive sleep apnea who have no complicating conditions. It is not the right test for everyone, and the physician may recommend an in-lab study instead.

  • No. The NightOwl tests for obstructive sleep apnea. It does not detect central sleep apnea, and it counts breathing events together rather than separating apneas from hypopneas. If your history suggests another sleep disorder, the physician may recommend an in-lab study.

  • No. The myAir app handles setup and uploads, but it does not show results. Your study goes to the reviewing sleep physician, and your Somni Sleep Consultant goes through the report with you on your results call.

  • Yes. A home sleep test needs a clinician's order. After you order, you answer a short health intake, and a partner physician reviews it before your test ships.

  • Then your test doesn't ship: your order is cancelled and you are refunded.

  • No. The test shows you and the physician what happens while you sleep. Treatment depends on your results and on what the physician recommends, and your Sleep Consultant talks the options through with you.
