3. Introduction
Research on sleep—the most basic of natural phenomena—has become increasingly prevalent in the past decade mainly due to the rising number of people suffering from sleep disorders.

4. Introduction
Traditional analytic methods for sleep study have used the polysomnograph
However, this is not only uncomfortable for the patients and expensive for frequent diagnosis, but also time consuming for sleep technicians.

7. Introduction
Traditional EEG recordings, places electrodes on the C3-A2 and C4-A1 region.
However, it is rather challenging for a person to properly place multiple physiological electrodes, or even a single EEG electrode, to measure their sleep quality in these areas

9. Introduction
van Sweden et al. (1990) have proposed the use of an alternate EEG placement from the traditional C3-A2 to Fpz-Cz.
Findings showed significant agreement.
However, there were instances wherein the alternative placement scored a deeper sleep stage compared to the original EEG placement.

11. Introduction
Therefore, the current study will investigate whether the Fp1-A2 and Fp2-A1 electrode placements are analogous to the C3-A2 and C4- A1 channel.

12. Materials and methods Subjects
5 healthy (“normal”) volunteers recruited to undergo sleep assessment to determine the utility and efficacy of the alternate electrode placement.
The subjects were all male with an average age of 23.8 ± 3.11 years old.

13. Materials and methods
Polysomnographic (PSG) midday sleep recordings were performed for 2 to 4 hours between 2P.M. and 6P.M. under standard recording conditions in a sleep laboratory.

14. Materials and methods
Data were recorded using the Somte PSG The following physiological signals were continuously recorded:
EEG (C3-A2, C4-A2, Fp1-A2 and Fp2-A1)
Horizontal electrooculogram (EOG)
Chin electromyogram (EMG), heart rate, respiration (nasal/mouth flow), and oxygen saturation using an oximeter.
Sampling rate for the EEG acquisition was 200Hz
