Are there any devices to buy/rent that show arousals?

And yes, arousals of the sleeping kind! I was just wondering if there is anything short of a sleep lab that can be used as a metric of "unconscious arousal events". There are so many variables that could cause us to wake in the night - and the machines do not cover them. A pulse oximeter possibly - but you'd have to be pretty awake for your sat level to rise enough to show you waking up.

Any simple two lead EEG's - anything that can even suggest consciousness that we may not remember? Thanks.

I have a vision that we will figure out an easy way to ensure that children develop wide, deep, healthy and attractive jaws and then obstructive sleep apnea becomes an obscure bit of history.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ycw4uaX ... re=related
