What is a Sleep Study?
A sleep study is a diagnostic test used to detect sleep apnoea and other sleep disorders by monitoring your breathing, oxygen levels, and sleep patterns. Depending on your needs, sleep studies can be performed in a specialised sleep lab or at home using portable study kits. CLM Sleep is Adelaide’s largest sleep study provider, now expanded nationally with over 50 locations. We offer both comprehensive in-lab studies and convenient home sleep study options, ensuring accurate diagnosis and the right treatment pathway for every patient.
Sleep Study Types
Home Sleep Studies are a simple, convenient, and cost-effective method of assessment. They allow patients to monitor their sleep at home using a portable device worn while sleeping in their own bed. The basic indicators measured in a Home Sleep Study include airflow, breathing effort, oxygen saturation, heart rate, and leg movements, which are used to help diagnose:
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA).

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the sleep study take?
Your sleep study is overnight and accordingly with your sleep routine. It is ideal for us to get 7 to 8 hours of sleep recording
I’m feeling sick. Should I still come?
If you’re unwell or showing cold/flu symptoms, please don’t attend your appointment for any Sleep Study Set-up Methods.
Just contact the clinic, and we’ll happily help you reschedule—no penalty and no stress, as we understand the situation is unexpected and unpredictable. Â
Do I have to sleep on my back? What sleep position should I use for the Sleep Study?
No, you don’t have to sleep on your back. For your Sleep Study, please sleep in whatever position feels most natural and comfortable for you.Â
If you naturally change positions throughout the night, that’s perfectly fine—the device will capture all the information it needs.
The goal is to record a typical night’s sleep, so try to follow your normal routine and usual sleeping positions. Your comfort helps us collect better-quality sleep data.
Should I take my medication as usual?
Yes, please take your medications as normal. However, it’s important to let your doctor know everything you’re taking before accessing the sleep study. It is because some medications can affect sleep or may need to be adjusted before a sleep study.
Your doctor will guide you if any changes are needed to ensure the highest quality of the sleep study section.
Are there wires and sensors? Is the device for Sleep Study heavy?
Yes, you’ll wear wires and sensors during the study—this is how we collect important sleep information.
But not to worry, the device we use is small, lightweight, and battery-powered. The wrist oximeter is compact and uses a short, comfortable cable. You’re not connected to a wall. You can move around and follow your normal bedtime routine.
The only minor thing we advise is just to avoid exercise, as sweating can loosen electrodes.
What do I wear during a Sleep Study?
Whatever you normally sleep in is completely fine, especially your sleeping clothes.
If possible, please shower beforehand, as you cannot do that after putting the wires and sensors on. Also, please avoid makeup and moisturiser so the sensors can adhere properly.
Do I have to go to bed as soon as the sensors are attached?
No, you do not. Please go to bed at your usual time.
The device we selected for Sleep Study at CLM Sleep Co. is comfortable and battery-powered, so you can relax, walk around, and follow your regular nighttime routine (again, please avoid exercise so the electrodes stay in place).
When will I get the results?
Once received, your sleep study will be downloaded, and one of our sleep scientists will analyse your sleep data. Once the analysis is complete, the data will be reviewed by a respiratory and sleep physician, who will prepare the final report. The final report will then be at your doctor who provided your referral.
- Report turnaround time: approximately 14 working days.
A follow-up appointment should be arranged with your doctor to review the final results. Your doctor will discuss your diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment options if needed.
What do I need to bring for my Home Sleep Study?
For Home Sleep Studies, what you’ll need depends on the type of setup you’ve booked—In-Clinic Set-up, In-Home Set-up, or our Remote Set-up.
For a Remote Set-up (Kit Pickup)
Please pick up your Sleep Study Kit at one of our CLM Sleep Co. Stores between 3:00–5:00 PM. If you cannot make it, please arrange another time with the clinic.
By the time you arrive, we already have a Sleep Study Kit ready for you to pick up. It includes:
The device and all required parts
A manual and an accompanying video to help you conduct your own set-up at home.
To guarantee the accuracy and success of the set-up, we will provide after-hours support with our specialised technician who will be able to check through your set-up. Please complete your setup before you go to bed and within our after-hours support so we can sign you off for peace of mind
Health reminder: If you—or anyone at home—has cold or flu-like symptoms, please call us to reschedule. There’s no penalty, and we’re very happy to arrange another date.
The next morning, simply remove the sensors and return the device to our CLM Sleep Store — or request a technician pick-up service (additional fee applies).
For an In-Clinic Setup
If you’re eligible for a sleep study and need to do a sleep study. Please book an appointment with us and arrive 5 minutes early for your 30-minute appointment (fee applies). We will help you attach the wires and sensors of the sleep study kit, and directly explain to you the sleepingdetails about the process while answering any questions you might have. You will then go home and sleep overnight with the kit on.
Before you arrive:
- If possible, please shower beforehand, as you cannot do that after putting the wires and sensors on.
- Avoid makeup and moisturiser so the sensors can adhere properly. Remove acrylic nails or dark coloured nail polish on your hands if applicable. And shave or trim your facial beard (if it is potentially in the way of electrodes being adhered).
- Be dressed in something you are comfortable sleeping in. A bathroom is available if you’d like to get changed when you arrive.
Â
Please bring:
- Your Medicare card
- All your medications (we record these as they may affect your results)
- An optional zip-front jumper to wear over the equipment once you’re set up
Health reminder: If you—or anyone at home—has cold or flu-like symptoms, please call us to reschedule. There’s no penalty, and we’re happy to arrange an alternative date.
The next morning, simply remove the sensors and return the device to our CLM Sleep Store — or request a technician pick-up service (additional fee applies).
For an In-Home Visit and Set-Up
This option is ideal if you have mobility challenges, prefer maximum convenience, or are unable to travel. One of our trained technicians will visit you at home to complete the full sleep study setup for you. Once everything is in place, they’ll leave you to continue your normal evening routine and head to bed whenever you’re ready.
Health reminder: If you—or anyone at home—has cold or flu-like symptoms, please call us to reschedule. There’s no penalty, and we’re very happy to arrange another date.
Hospital patients: If you’re currently hospitalised and require a sleep study, you can also use this service. Our technician will visit your hospital ward to complete the setup. Please note: additional fees apply.
What devices and technology are used in a Home Sleep Study?
We use a clinical-grade NOX sleep study system. This helps us get the accurate information needed to understand your sleep.
Our home sleep study uses braided EEG and head wires, which help keep everything neat and tangle-free. The system is semi-wireless—your oxygen sensor (oximeter) attaches to your finger and wrist, and it connects to the main device via Bluetooth.
All the standard signals required under Medicare—such as heart rate, breathing, eye movements, and EEG (brain waves)—are recorded as usual.
One feature that sets CLM Sleep apart from many other providers is that we also include leg electrodes in our Home Sleep Studies. Medicare doesn’t require leg sensors for Level 2 sleep studies, but we’ve added them as an extra screening tool. These sensors help us check for leg movements or leg activity during sleep, which can be important in diagnosing certain sleep conditions.
An “electrode” is simply a general term for a sensor. So when we say “leg electrode,” it means a small sensor that we gently place on your leg.
What do I need to bring for the Laboratory Sleep Studies?
Please note that we do not provide, prescribe, or administer any medications during your sleep study. Please bring all of your usual medications and take them yourself as you normally would at home, at your regular times.Â
Please remember to bring:
Your Medicare card and a credit card (the accommodation fee is payable on arrival)
Comfortable sleepwear – two-piece pyjamas or a t-shirt and shorts are ideal, as sensors need to be placed on your chest. Nighties are not recommended.
Optional: your own pillow (we provide a selection, but you may prefer your own)
We provide:
Organic toiletries and a hairdryer
(You may wish to bring your own shaving kit if needed.)
If applicable, please also bring:
Your CPAP mask and tubing if you already use CPAP
Your CPAP or BiPAP machine if your study is assessing how well your current therapy is working
Your dental mouth splint, mouth guard, or other therapeutic device if this is being assessed
If you’re unsure what to bring or have any questions, please feel free to our team before coming.
