Goal

Screen how breathing issues affect sleep quality

Hypothesis

Sleep breathing issues worsen fragmentation and lower HRV

UARS and mild apnea trigger micro-arousals and raise sympathetic activity

Expected Effects

  • ↓ sleep_fragmentation
  • ↑ hrv_night_avg

Phases

1

Baseline

3 days
  • Sleep as usual, without any breathing aids
  • Rate your sleep quality on a 1-10 scale in the morning
2

With a Breathing Aid

3 days
  • Use a nasal strip (Breathe Right or equivalent)
  • Log whether you used the aid
  • Rate your sleep quality on a 1-10 scale in the morning

Tracked Metrics

Primary

  • ↓ sleep_fragmentation
  • ↑ hrv_night_avg

Evaluation

Method: compare_phase_means

Design: baseline (3 days) → intervention (3 days)

Safety

Disclaimers

  • This is a screening, not a diagnosis — see a doctor if you suspect apnea
  • If you snore or have breathing pauses, consider a polysomnography

Stop Conditions

  • Allergic reaction to the strip
