1. Movement Monitoring Devices: These devices can detect body movements during sleep, helping to track how often and how much a person moves at night.
2. Sleep Posture Tracking: Using frameworks that can interpret sleep posture changes can help families understand how medications might be affecting sleep patterns.
3. High-Resolution Position Measurement: Advanced tools can measure sleep positions in detail, providing insights into sleep quality and any changes in movement patterns.

By using these methods, families can get a clearer picture of how medication changes might be affecting sleep. This information can be useful for discussing with healthcare providers to ensure the best care. Always remember to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
