Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The EMFIT QS (Quantified Sleep), an unobtrusive, contact-free sleep monitoring device, that can be places under a bed mattress and is used for tracking the changes in individual’s sleep. This device provides heart and respiration rate measurements, a sleep stage estimation, sleep quality analysis, and heart rate variability.

Participants underwent a single-night clinical PSG study, and the same sleep measurements from PSG and EMFIT were simultaneously collected. Since EMFIT has been set up under the mattress, their usual sleep study by PSG has not been disrupted by EMFIT and they didn't notice the existence of the devices under the mattress.
