This study is developing a new, simpler way to detect severe sleep apnea by measuring how your heart rhythm changes during sleep. Researchers will compare heart rhythm patterns in people with severe sleep apnea to those without sleep problems, focusing on a specific sleep stage called REM sleep where apnea is most likely to happen. The goal is to create a reliable screening tool that could eventually be used in regular doctor's offices instead of only in sleep labs.
Sleep apnea is serious but often goes undiagnosed because current testing methods are expensive, time-consuming, and require overnight stays in specialized labs. This trial aims to develop an easier, more accessible way to identify who has severe sleep apnea so people can get treatment faster.

If you join this study, you will complete questionnaires about your sleep habits and health, then undergo a standard sleep study (polysomnography) where your heart rhythm, breathing, and other body functions are monitored while you sleep. Researchers will measure your heart rhythm patterns — especially during REM sleep — and compare the results between people with sleep apnea and healthy volunteers. The study involves approximately 97 participants total.
