Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

Comparison of 2 hook-up protocols to perform home-based sleep studies in patients suspected of sleep-disordered breathing.

First one: hook-up is performed in the hospital, around 4 PM, and the patient go home with the portable monitoring.

Second one: hook-up is performed home, around 7 PM, and the patient has not to move after hook-up.

Detailed Description

All the patients will undergo 2 polysomnographies, according to two different hook-up protocols, within 2 weeks. Order of the exams will be randomized.

We hypothesised that quality of recording is better when hook-up is performed at home.

Final polysomnographic diagnosis, with the 2 different techniques, must be similar.
