Abstract
Apparatus and methods are provided including sensing at least one parameter of a subject while the subject sleeps. The parameter is analyzed, and a condition of the subject is determined at least in part responsively to the analysis. The subject is alerted to the condition only after the subject awakes. Other applications are also described.

186. Apparatus comprising:
-
a sensor, adapted to sense at least one parameter of a subject while the subject sleeps; a user interface; and a control unit, adapted to; analyze the parameter, determine a condition of the subject at least in part responsively to the analysis, and drive the user interface to alert the subject to the condition only after the subject awakes. - View Dependent Claims (187, 188, 189, 190, 191, 192, 193, 194, 195)

196. A method for monitoring a subject, comprising:
-
setting respective first and second thresholds that are different from one another; sensing at least one parameter of a subject; analyzing the parameter to generate a score; if the score is between the first and second thresholds, generating an alert that is indicative of a condition of the subject only after the subject awakes; and if the score passes the second threshold, generating an immediate alert that is indicative of the subject'"'"'s condition.
