MONITORING A SLEEPING SUBJECT

Abstract: apparatus and methods are described, including apparatus for use with a subject who shares a bed with a second person. a motion sensor detects motion of the subject and motion of the second person, and generates a motion signal in response thereto. a control unit identifies components of the motion signal that were generated in response to motion of the subject, by distinguishing between components of the motion signal that were generated in response to motion of the subject, and components of the motion signal that were generated in response to motion of the second person. the control unit analyzes the components of the motion signal that were generated in response to motion of the subject and generates an output in response thereto. other applications are also described.
