She did notice. The people I have known with sleep apnea were originally alerted by their partners walking them to tell them they’re not breathing.
The article mentions the Withings Sleep Analyzer. Is about US$130.
Years ago I was once concerned I might have had sleep apnea. I did see a doctor, who said I almost certainly didn't have it. I also bought a $40 pulse oximeter that could do logging, and taped it to my finger over a couple nights. I didn't see my oxygen level drop below 90% (or something, I can't remember), so I figured I didn't have it.
My understanding is oxygen level is one of the most important factors to track for sleep apnea. I am also super-skeptical of movement-based sleep tracking. Since my impression is it's typically half-assing with cheap sensors that aren't very suited to the task (on their own).
Does anyone know how accurate Samsung or Apple Watch are?
