A method for detecting sleep-related Apneas, Hypopneas, heart rate, body movements, and snoring events of a sleeping person. An online, adaptive detection system conditions and automatically analyzes physiological, movement-related and ambient acoustical signals to count valid snoring events, non-breathing events and calculates patient AHI (Apnea Hypopnea Index). Patient respiration, snoring, movements, presence and heart rate are continuously monitored, recorded and transmitted without requiring any sensors, electrodes, leads, cuffs, or cannulas to be attached to the patient. Additional benefits include improving the reliability of Apnea/Hypopnea detection in the patient home environment, and utilizing the method and the device for Apnea/Hypopnea and snoring positional therapy.
