Abstract

A method for diagnosis of a sleep-related condition of a patient having a thorax. The method includes receiving physiological signals from sensors coupled to the thorax of the patient, and analyzing the physiological signals, independently of any electroencephalogram (EEG) or electro-oculogram (EOG) signals, in order to identify sleep stages of the patient.
