Feasibility and usability of three consecutive nights with self-applied, home polysomnography.

ABSTRACT: In-laboratory polysomnography, the gold-standard for diagnosing sleep disorders, is resource-demanding and not conducive to multiple night evaluations. Ambulatory polysomnography, especially when self-applied, could be a viable alternative. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and reliability of self-applied polysomnography over three consecutive nights in untrained participants, assessing: technical success rate; comparing sleep diagnostic variables from single and multiple nights; and evaluating participants' subjective experience. Data were collected from 78 participants (55.1% females) invited to test a self-applicable polysomnography device for three consecutive nights at home. The technical success rate for valid sleep recordings was 82.5% out of 234 planned study nights, with
