Our study showed that the monotonous and repetitive snoring sounds of the snorer do not wake the individual, but do affect deep restorative sleep (N3). PSG signal analysis revealed that the most significant changes were in the C3-M2 channel (N3 delta wave amplitude increase and frequency decrease during snoring). Thus, clinicians may be able to monitor the characteristic changes occuring in large cortical delta waves in snoring individuals with innovative single-channel EEG devices without microphones.
