The purpose of this study was to develop a sleep disorder detection system using pressure distribution sensors to examine and differentiate between a person with a sleep disorder and a healthy person. The Athens insomnia scale (AIS) questionnaire was used in this study. The participants were between 20 and 26 years old. A fabric-sheet pressure distribution sensor was used to collect data from the participants while they were sleeping. There is pressure from the body on the sensors while the participant is sleeping. Therefore, we can know the movement of the body from the measurement of this pressure. The sensor’s sampling rate was 1/s. We observed different conditions of healthy and sleep disorder examinees while they were sleeping. The environment for the experiment was the participant’s bedroom. Thus, they did not feel strange with this experiment. Data were analyzed using a support vector machine (SVM) to separate the data between healthy people and people with sleep disorders.
