Hi @softwaredoug, I would also like to know how detection helps. FYI I assume a Convolutional Neural Network could easily do it, the tech' is very accessible, would love to further discuss this.

It helps a few ways

- Confirming that's why I'm groggy in the AM, and not some other reason

- which limbs are moving, which can help for targeted treatment (stretching, magnesium cream, etc)

If you are not sleeping with a blanket, I'm suggesting either video recording yourself (e.g. with a cellphone) and after that running a pose estimation model over the video, or running the model live (this one seems promising: https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/examples/pose_estimation/ove... ), if you are sleeping with a blanket, the model may need training. Then once you have the pose estimations, it should be easier to analyze. Please contact me if you want us to try together.
