How is REM Sleep Monitored in Neonates?

Monitoring REM sleep in neonates is typically done through polysomnography (PSG), which measures various physiological parameters including brain activity (EEG), eye movements (EOG), muscle activity (EMG), and heart rate (ECG). These metrics help healthcare providers understand the sleep architecture and identify any abnormalities that may indicate underlying neonatal disorders.
