The purpose of this study is to learn more about breathing disorders during sleep. The
investigators want to learn how breathing sounds made during sleep relate to breathing
disorders during sleep.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of assessing breathing problems
during sleep with minimally obtrusive sensors (a bedside microphone and wireless pulse
oximeter worn on the fingertip). The investigators will use the data collected with these
sensors to develop algorithms for automatically detecting sleep apnea events. Subjects will
be asked to place unobtrusive sensors (bedside microphone and wireless pulse oximeter) in
their home sleep environment. The subjects will start the at-home data collection before they
fall asleep, and stop the data collection the next morning when they wake. The subjects will
then return the sensors to the investigator for analysis.
We are looking for people interested in participating in the at-home portion of our study. We
will only collect at-home data for one night of sleep per subject. After this one night, no
further data collection or monitoring will occur. Subjects will be compensated for their
time.
A standard sleep-breathing questionnaire (the "Berlin Questionnaire") will be administered.
This questionnaire is widely used as a screening tool to determine if a person may have
disordered breathing during sleep. This questionnaire consists of 10 multiple-choice
questions related to snoring, daytime sleepiness, and other related conditions.
