Better Sleep Starts at DePaul
If you're struggling with snoring, daytime fatigue, or other sleep concerns, a sleep study can help uncover the cause. DePaul now offers convenient at-home sleep studies, allowing you to complete your sleep evaluation in the comfort of your own bed without spending the night in a sleep lab.

In-person appointments are available at our Algiers, Carrollton, Kenner, and New Orleans East locations. Depending on your care plan, follow-up appointments may also be available through virtual visits.
What Is a Sleep Study?
A sleep study is a non-invasive test that evaluates how you sleep and helps identify conditions that may be affecting your health.
Unlike traditional sleep studies that require an overnight stay at a sleep center, DePaul offers an at-home sleep study. You'll receive a comfortable ring monitor to wear while you sleep. The device collects information about your breathing, oxygen levels, heart rate, and sleep patterns throughout the night.
Most insurance plans cover at-home sleep studies. Approximately 80% of DePaul’s patients qualify. Our staff can help verify your coverage before your appointment.
