Sleep Apnoea pre-diagnostic Screening Test for people who suspect they may be suffering from undiagnosed Sleep Apnoea. This test is NOT for people already on CPAP, as for accurate screening it would require not using CPAP for the test, which isn't recommended without the approval of your sleep doctor.
Due to the fact this sleep screening test is very popular, sometimes there is a delay before we can send a device out, but you will be added to our waiting list and informed via email or telephone when to expect it and also sent given a tracking number.
Please note that our charity have been fortunate in raising funding for new equipment, so you will be sent a superior model to that shown in the images. The website will be updated soon.
This SleepView Screener is a pre-diagnostic Sleep Apnoea Screening Test for adults who suspect they are sufferers of Sleep Apnoea. It will provide evidence for people as to whether they need to take further action in arranging a full Sleep Study, and/or for their GP's to refer them to a sleep clinic/hospital for an official diagnosis and treatment via the NHS. Apnoeas, hypopnoeas, low oxygen desaturations and pulse rate will be recorded but this test is not intended to identify the difference kinds of Sleep Apnoea, as below.
It is always advisable people are treated under the supervision of a registered sleep clinician, as there are different variations of Sleep Apnoea which often require more than just a straightforward CPAP machines for good therapy:-
Also, other underlying health conditions can often determine which type of machine people require, which is another reason to be treated by a qualified registered sleep clinican! (An an example, Kath Hope of Hope2Sleep was started on CPAP, moved to APAP followed by ASV (Adaptive Servo Ventilation) and is now currently on VPAP, so she is very grateful for being under good care by the NHS). Therefore, it is not our charity's recommendation that people undertake online sleep studies and purchase machines. It should also be noted that CPAP machines require prescribing by a qualified sleep clinician.
For people who only wish to check on oxygen desaturations please see the alternative screening test hire which is suitable for people already using CPAP.
This particular test is more accurate for detecting Sleep Apnoea than just a Pulse Oximetry test alone, due to it measuring nasal and mouth breathing, as using pulse oximetry alone as a pre-diagnosis is not always accurate, due to the fact that oxygen desaturations can also happen for other reasons. Also, not all apnoeas/hypopneas cause oxygen desaturations as often the body fights hard to keep oxygen levels maintained.
The device is sent out on loan for one night's use, and you are paying for the hire of the equipment, the subsequent data to be downloaded and the report compiled and issued with recommendations for your next action to be taken. You can see a brief sample of Page 1 of the report below:-

Glad to be of help Andrew 😊
Excellent service. The home sleep apnea test was easy to use and the report I received a couple of days later was detailed and helpful. Thanks
It was our pleasure to help you and good luck with your referral.
Much cheaper than other sites.Took 2 weeks to arrive which is acceptable.Received a call to ensure someone would be there to accept the package on the day which was very handy.Machine instructions clear and easy to use.Detailed results provided by email and overall, very satisfied with the service.
Our pleasure to help🙂
Ordered the kit for two nights, after my long term day time sleepiness led me to wondering about apnea.The first night I found I pulled the equipment off in my sleep - woke up to find I’d thrown it back in the box, so I was glad I’d booked the second night too.Results came back the next day, with a really professional report indicating moderate apnea, and I’m now able to pursue treatment. I’ve got hope that there might be a solution to my awful sleepiness and fatigue for the first time in over a decade. Can’t rate this services highly enough.
Very pleased to have helped you and good luck with your referral and future better health and energy.
I found the information paperwork covered the set up of the machine perfectly. Batteries included & tape to affix tubing. I seemed to sleep alright having tubes etc attached.Pre-paid return envelope made returning item easy.
If you think you may have sleep apnea don’t hesitate in hiring this machine from hope2sleep. If you have it the report is invaluable evidence to take to your doctor.The machine isn’t cumbersome at all and while it may feel a bit odd at first you quickly get used to it.I honestly can’t recommend hope2sleep highly enough.
We were pleased to help you Stella, and good luck in getting your sleep clinic referral soon, and of course we're always here to support you!
Came with clear instructions and was very easy to set up.
Pleased to help you Andrew and good luck with the next step.
Bought this to allay my wife's fears. But the results came as a shock - severe apnoea. She was right I stopped breathing several times and now off to sleep clinic. General info on site also very useful and I now feel prepared and have questions to ask at my hospital appointment.
Glad to have helped prove your wife's suspicions Tom and good luck with the sleep clinic referral.
Well worth trying. I wasn’t sure if it was and took a few months to decide. I should have experimented earlier. I took the results to the GP. They were a little surprised, but was happy to refer when I mentioned the outcome.Three nights may not have been necessary, but wasn’t sure how I’d sleep. You get used to it quite quickly.
Great to hear your GP has referred you and hope the diagnosis and therapy goes smoothly and you'll soon be feeling the benefits of good safe sleep.
Was easy to use and much smaller than I thought it was going to be, Simple to return the item after use as well. Thanks

International orders are sent via tracked Airmail, and whilst we're happy to ship internationally, we cannot be held responsible for any charges that may be added in your own country.
Delivery charges are worked out automatically by weight and you can clearly see the delivery charges before purchase. On the rare occasion delivery charges are miscalculated by the website, a refund will be sent, as it is not our policy to make money on postage charges and neither do we add the cost of delivery into the price and offer so-called 'free delivery' like some sites and Ebay pressurise sellers to do!
Wherever possible with larger parcels, we try to re-use boxes to keep shipping costs down and protect the environment.
If a product is out of stock and the order contains multiple items, the 'in stock' items will be sent immediately and further items will follow upon arrival with no further postage charges incurred.
Masks and most products cannot be exchanged, unless faulty, due to health and hygiene issues, in accordance with the Consumer Contracts Regulations, (as stated in our 'Terms and Conditions' ) and where you will find our return address, so if you are unsure about any product please contact us BEFORE purchase or BEFORE opening a sealed packet.
Unopened (sealed) products in their original packing can be returned within 14 days for a refund of the product cost, but the purchaser is to pay the return postage, and we would advise retaining proof of postage. This excludes any faulty goods, for which postage will be reimbursed. A full refund for the price of the product will be issued when received by us, less the original postage charges when the order was sent to you.
