Muscle tone To determine signal quality during the duration of the recording Detection of snore and snore rhythm Sound (magnified) Supine position Detection of head position Up = upright R = right L = left P = prone Su = supine Head movement Ambient light: determines lights off/on for accurate time in bed (TiB) *two more EEG signals are available to plot in the software

Because the HST continuously records electrode impedence, the signal quality can be determined and artefacts can be excluded from the analysis. Ambient light, body position and movement help determine Time In Bed (TIB) and other sleep related parameters.
