were part of a test, whereas the people on the highways were really fighting sleep. It shows that when monitoring people in their daily lives there are significant differences in result.”,said Dr. Bekaris.

Probe areas are immense. The project leader explained, “Take falling asleep at workplaces as an example. Today you have techniques that might alert you as you fall asleep, but what we want is a system that will alert the person already before this happens. In some work environments or while driving it might already be too late if you have started dozing off.”

Commenting in the progress he said, “We currently have nine sensors ready and plan to present the first sensors and prototypes at the International conference on ‘Monitoring sleep and sleepiness - from physiology to new sensors’ which will be held in Switzerland 29-30 May 2006.”
