This invention is a method, and device suitable for use without professional medical supervision for screening for sleep apnea. All elements of the device are housed in a small, flexible, plastic housing (8) which is placed on the users philtrum. A thermistor (2, 7) acquires data describing the respiratory pattern. A processor (1) analyzes the respiratory pattern in real time, and outputs a study result, describing the occurrence of any episodes of apnea, to a non-volatile colored marker (6) on the plastic housing (8). A flashing LED (5) display informs the user when placement of the device is appropriate. A lithium battery (3), which powers all elements of the device, is activated by a pull-tab (4) removed by the user.
