The sleep scores correlate reasonably with how good or crappy I feel the next day. I'm not sure it adds actionable data in a sense, except to give sleep hygiene advice with some level of feedback and encouragement. It also records her sleep as mine if I leave the room and forget to turn it off, even though she should be well outside its range on the far side of our King bed. It does register my wife's presence as disturbed sleep if she gets close (presumably picking up two sources of motion). It can also give some false positives with a partner. Occasionally it reports awakenings if I am still dead asleep after bending one leg up, even though I am dead still for many minutes on these occasions with nothing happening on sleepyhead at the time. I think light and deep sleep are near enough too, judging by my degree of leg movement on IR video. So it appears to be measuring something correctly there. ResMed S+ is reporting my REM sleep durations as improved, with 4 sleep cycles/night. I have pushed my minimum IPAP pressures up, and feeling better for it. My impression is also that it is reasonably accurate. Lower levels of ambient noise may not always be defects, including softer running CPAP devices." If you can, keep the CPAP machine on the far side of your body, opposite the S+ sensor.

If you use a CPAP, you will want to keep the S+ directed in a way where it will not pick up the sounds of the device running, or any fan or vibration movements the machine creates. Vibrations and movements from the CPAP tubing can be read as body movements or breathing, which may skew the Sleep Score results you receive. The unit is designed to pick up on possible loud noises and movements.

The S+ sensor should not be used by anyone using oxygen or in the presence of a flammable gas. "Thank you for contacting ResMed Sensor Technologies S+ Customer Service. I will pass along what they said as it made me re-think the purchase and pass on buying the unit. I was curious if it would work next to my Autosense S10 and queried ResMed tech support.
