We will ship your sleep apnea test right to your door. Simply sleep as you normally would—in your own bed, any time of day or night—and discard the device after use.
Meet with our expert clinical team to review your results and discuss treatment options. Unlike other virtual testing services, we aren't just trying to sell you a CPAP—we'll explore every option according to your lifestyle.
We offer setup support for your prescribed treatment, as well as 30, 90, and 150-day follow-ups. Ask questions, get support, and maximize your sleep quality.
Obstructive sleep apnea can severely affect your lungs, heart, and mental health.
"Apnea" means "stopped breathing." When you stop breathing hundreds of times per night, your heart and lungs suffer the consequences. People with untreated OSA face 2x higher risk for stroke, 2.3x of cardiovascular diseases, 1.7x of erectile dysfunction, and 1.3x of developing Alzheimer’s.

Sleep is your body and brain's chance to recover and perform much-needed maintenance. Without quality rest, you lose your ability to show up when it matters. You owe it to your loved ones, your work, and yourself to wake up rested and ready to do what you love.

Polaris provides genuine clinical care. Your at-home test is interpreted by a board-certified sleep clinician, and any diagnosis and treatment plan comes from a licensed provider, not an automated score.
No referral needed. You can begin with our free risk check, and if testing is appropriate we'll guide you from there. If you have a referring provider, we're glad to coordinate with them.
We currently serve patients across Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia, and Texas, with care delivered virtually.
It's a small, comfortable device you wear for a single night in your own bed, no wires, no overnight lab stay. You send it back and a clinician reviews your data.
Because there's no sleep-lab waitlist, most of the process moves at the speed of shipping and scheduling, typically much faster than the traditional path. Your clinician will give you specifics for your situation.
You'll get set up with the treatment that fits your diagnosis, plus structured follow-up visits at 30, 90, and 150 days to make sure it's working and to adjust as needed.
No. CPAP is one option, not the only one. Depending on what your sleep study shows, positional therapy or an oral appliance may be a better fit. Polaris matches treatment to your diagnosis, and we do not sell equipment, so the recommendation is based on your results rather than what we stock.
CPAP is the most familiar treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, and for moderate to severe cases it is often the most effective. But it is not the automatic answer for everyone.

How Polaris approaches this:
Your study is reviewed personally by a board-certified sleep specialist, and treatment is matched to what the data shows. Devices and appliances are fulfilled through independent vendors, so there is no incentive to steer you toward one.
Many commercial and Medicare plans cover home sleep testing and OSA treatment when medically appropriate. We verify your specific benefits and share any expected out-of-pocket cost before you're charged. Self-pay options are available too.
