Researchers are testing a new wearable device that measures oxygen saturation in the brain and body using near-infrared spectroscopy technology. The device is designed to better detect what happens in the brain during sleep apnea events in children. This study will compare how well this new device works compared to standard sleep study measurements.
Current sleep studies don't directly measure how much oxygen the brain is getting during sleep apnea events, which may be important for understanding how the condition affects children's health and development. This study aims to develop a better monitoring tool that could help doctors identify and treat sleep apnea more effectively.

You would come to the NIH Clinical Center for an overnight sleep study. Researchers would attach the wearable device to your head and body while you sleep normally — no changes to your regular care. They will also collect standard sleep study measurements at the same time so they can compare the new device to traditional methods.
