Yes, I'm sure it's not as good as having a proper sleep study but if the end result is that more people who need them get them it would be a positive outcome.
Also, a doctor can show you how to use one, you would not necessarily be completely on your own.
Sleep studies are just such a hassle (and expensive, depending on where you live), and if you have a weird sleep schedule it can be difficult to even fall asleep in time.
Being able to just rent a CPAP machine for a couple of days and have a doctor show you how to use it would be a good option to have.
