The Sleep Profiler provides detailed information on rapid eye movement, the percentage of sleep you get overall and other aspects of sleep quality. Your doctor can use this information to diagnose a sleep disorder and provide you with the treatment you need for relief.

The Sleep Profiler has a lightweight design, you don’t have to worry about it being uncomfortable while you sleep. The Sleep Profiler is also simple to use.

• Convenience, since you can use it at home instead of having to stay at a facility overnight for your assessment
