Abstract
Sleep abnormalities can lead to a major impact on work performance, social behavior and road traffic accidents. Traditional assessment of sleep require the application of a set of rules based on EOG, EMG, and EEG. Early studies did not cover repeated arousals, too short to be recognised as wakefulness. To standardise the assessment of arousal, ASDA recently proposed detailed criteria that define arousal as 'An abrupt shift in EEG frequency'. Under these criteria, EEG arousal is a good predictor of daytime symptoms. However, studies recently completed reveal some evidence that EEG arousal may not be as effective as expected.
