Question by Jargon: Is there an alternative sleep apnea diagnosis method other than an overnight sleep study?
I believe I have sleep apnea, but because I am currently in a residential treatment program, I am unable to go to an overnight sleep study.
Is there an alternative method with which I can be tested for sleep apnea?

Not one that would be recognized by an insurance company.

Have a friend watch you sleep. If you repeatedly stop breathing for 15-20 or more seconds, then you probably do have sleep apnea. More prevalent with snorers.
