1. A method for detecting sleep-disordered breathing, the method comprising:

  • detecting a plurality of QRS complex pulses within an electrocardiogram signal;

    determining a plurality of QRS complex pulse area values for a preselected time band, variations in the area of each of the plurality of QRS complex pulse areas defining QRS complex pulse area morphology for the plurality of QRS complex pulses;

    analyzing the QRS complex pulse area morphology for the plurality of QRS complex pulses; and

    detecting sleep disordered breathing, when existing, responsive to the analysis responsive to the analysis of the change in value between the area of each of the plurality of QRS complex pulse areas.
