I was referred by a doctor, but I think a friend of mine went to a sleep clinic in Surrey, where they sent him home with a simple machine and an oxygen sensor on his finger. I'm not sure how comprehensive that test is, and I can tell you that those clinics usually always come back with the diagnosis that you need an expensive machine, even for mild forms of apnea, which we all have.
Therefore, I went the old school route, got a referral from my doctor, waited the 8 months to get an appointment, and went and spent the night at UBC hospital under their sleep monitoring program. I had about 30 wires hooked up to me, with sensors taped all over to monitor the heart, brain, etc.
