In this paper, we propose a method for sleep apnea and hypopnea detection by analyzing the mandibular movements recorded during sleep. This signal, highly correlated with the esophageal pressure during apnea or hypopnea, is a good marker of respiratory efforts. The respiratory efforts and their background activity are used to detect salient mandibular movements related to sleep apnea and hypopnea, to delineate and to recognize episodes of sleep apnea and hypopnea. The method presented may be extended to others breathing disorders such as Respiratory Efforts Related Arousals (RERA). [less ▲]
