Sleep arousals trigger rapid autonomic shifts, yet their specific sympathetic signatures remain poorly characterized due to the mixed sympathetic-parasympathetic nature of traditional cardiovascular markers. Electrodermal activity (EDA), driven exclusively by sympathetic sudomotor pathways, offers a more direct opportunity to characterize arousal-related autonomic responses during sleep. This study quantifies the evolution of EDA-based features associated with arousal events in 100 adults using ...
