How It Works

Most people with sleep disorders do not know they have one. They blame their fatigue on stress, their snoring on weight, and their morning headaches on dehydration. In reality, conditions like obstructive sleep apnea and chronic insomnia affect millions of Indians and go undiagnosed for years because traditional sleep labs are expensive, inconvenient, and intimidating.

RemeSleep was built to change that. We bring clinical-grade sleep diagnostics to your home using FDA-approved devices, connect you with board-certified somnologists via video consultation, and create personalised treatment plans that actually work. The entire process, from your first quiz to your ongoing treatment, happens without a single hospital visit.

Whether you are in Mumbai, Bangalore, or anywhere else in India, here is exactly how our process works and what you can expect at every step.

Step 1: The Sleep Quiz - Your Starting Point

Our sleep quiz is based on validated screening tools used by sleep physicians worldwide, including the STOP-BANG questionnaire for sleep apnea and the Insomnia Severity Index. You answer questions about your snoring habits, daytime energy levels, body mass index, blood pressure history, and sleep patterns. The quiz takes under 3 minutes and gives you an instant risk score along with a recommended next step. If your results suggest a possible sleep disorder, our team reaches out within 30 minutes to schedule your free consultation.

Step 2: The At-Home Sleep Study

Traditional sleep studies require you to spend a night in a hospital sleep lab, hooked up to dozens of wires in an unfamiliar environment. That approach often produces inaccurate results because you are not sleeping naturally. Our at-home sleep study uses a compact, FDA-approved device that you wear on your finger and chest. It captures all the critical data points: respiratory effort, airflow, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate, snoring intensity, and sleep position. The device is delivered to your door, and our sleep coordinator walks you through setup over a quick phone call. You sleep in your own bed, and we collect the device the next day.

Step 3: Expert Analysis and Diagnosis

Your sleep data is analysed by our board-certified somnologists, not automated software. Dr. Poonam Natarajan and Dr. Subramanian Natarajan review every recording personally to calculate your Apnoea-Hypopnoea Index (AHI), identify oxygen desaturation events, and detect any abnormal sleep patterns. Within 3-5 working days, you receive a comprehensive clinical report and a video consultation where your doctor explains your results in plain language, answers your questions, and outlines treatment options specific to your condition and lifestyle.

Step 4: Personalised Treatment and Ongoing Care

Treatment is never one-size-fits-all at RemeSleep. Based on your AHI score, oxygen levels, and symptoms, your somnologist prescribes the most appropriate therapy. For moderate to severe sleep apnea, this is typically CPAP or BiPAP therapy with a mask fitting done either at our clinic or via guided video call. For insomnia, we offer structured CBT-I programmes. For milder cases, we create lifestyle modification plans covering sleep hygiene, positional therapy, and weight management. Every patient is assigned a dedicated sleep coach who checks in regularly, monitors your CPAP compliance data remotely, and adjusts your treatment plan as you progress.

Comfort and Accuracy

Hospital-based polysomnography (PSG) has long been considered the gold standard for sleep diagnosis. However, research published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine shows that home sleep testing (HST) provides comparable diagnostic accuracy for obstructive sleep apnea in most adults. The key advantage is that you sleep in your natural environment, which produces more representative data about your actual sleep patterns. Many patients report that they barely sleep in hospital labs due to the unfamiliar setting, wires, and monitoring cameras.

Convenience and Cost

A hospital sleep study in India typically costs between Rs 8,000 and Rs 25,000 depending on the city and facility. It requires you to take a night off, travel to the lab, and stay overnight in an unfamiliar bed. Our at-home sleep study costs significantly less, happens in your own bed, and involves zero travel. The device is delivered and collected from your doorstep.

When Is a Hospital Sleep Study Needed?

Home sleep tests are ideal for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea in adults without significant comorbidities. However, your somnologist may recommend a hospital-based study if you have suspected central sleep apnea, complex comorbidities like advanced heart failure or neuromuscular disease, or if your home study results are inconclusive. Our doctors will always recommend the most appropriate test for your specific situation.
