Sleep Study Specialists:
What the Test Really Measures
See what a sleep study measures, how in-lab and at-home tests differ, and what the night is really like. Then track 51 sleep biomarkers with Sleep Age.
What this is
Sleep Study Specialist, in plain language
A sleep study sounds bigger than it is. It is one night of measurement. Sensors record your breathing, your oxygen, your heart rate, your movement, and how your sleep cycles through the night. In a lab, a technologist places the sensors for you. At home, you place a smaller kit yourself and sleep in your own bed. Both give a clinician real data instead of guesses.
The study answers one question: what is happening while you sleep. It does not tell you how sleep is shaping your health over years. That is a different question, and it needs a different kind of measurement. Dumbo Health is telehealth plus at-home testing, so you can start that part tonight, from wherever you live.

WHY MEASURE FIRST
You came looking for a sleep study. So why start with blood?
You are already asking a good question: how do you actually measure what sleep is doing to you? A sleep study measures one night. It is the right tool for that job, and if you want one, go get one. This is a different tool, and it measures something else. It looks at your body during the day, and at what your nights have been leaving behind in it. Doing that first gives you a starting point instead of a guess. It also gives you something real to bring to a clinician when you sit down with one. The Sleep Age panel is a blood draw that looks at markers commonly tracked alongside sleep. Inflammation, with markers like hs-CRP and IL-6. Blood sugar and metabolism, including HbA1c, fasting insulin, and the hunger hormones leptin and ghrelin. Heart and vessel markers like ApoB and Lp(a). Hormones like cortisol, melatonin, and thyroid. Kidney and liver markers, nutrients like vitamin D, ferritin, and magnesium, and markers of biological aging such as telomere length. Dumbo Health turns all of that into one number, your Sleep Age. One number you can see today, and watch move as your nights change.
Inflammation
Short and broken sleep is associated with higher inflammatory markers.
- hs-CRP
- IL-6
- White blood cell count
Blood sugar and metabolism
How your body handles sugar and hunger signals tracks with how you sleep.
- HbA1c
- Fasting insulin
- Leptin and ghrelin
Heart and vessels
The cardiovascular markers most often looked at alongside poor sleep.
- ApoB
- Lp(a)
- NT-proBNP
- Homocysteine
This panel does not diagnose anything. It does not test for sleep apnea, and it cannot rule it out. It will not tell you why you sleep badly. It is not a sleep study, and it is not a stand in for seeing a clinician. It measures where you stand today, so you can track it.
You have seen what the panel measures. The only thing it cannot tell you is what yours would say.
