Design: A counter-balanc ed, matched-group design was used. Participants underwent 3 consecutive nocturnal LPSG’s PSG’s in their homes (HPSG’s). Setting: disorders laboratories at affiliated VA university medical centers.

Measurements Results: series multivariate univariate analyses conducted with 9 common parameters address objectives.

Conclusions: recording site influence noted between sleepers.
