Sleep is an indispensable requirement for health, which will refresh a person's body and mind. Sleep quality is essential for a person's lifestyle, eradicating various health complications. Sleep disorder is a significant complication for most people for a more extended period. During sleep time, many people used to die due to abnormal changes in the human body. In this regard, a system for tracking sleep disorders is highly required. Hence, monitoring sleep in real-time is the only way to detect sleep disorders. This paper proposes a sleep disorder monitoring (SDM) system using IoT on a time basis constructed with a Raspberry Pi controller. Various types of sensors are involved in this system to measure parameters such as heart rate, electrocardiogram (ECG), oxygen level, and snoring sound of a person. These measurements are carried out without disturbing that person's sleep. The results are forwarded to a mobile application utilizing a wifi module and displayed on an LCD screen connected to the controller. Moreover, this paper gives an idea about sleep disorders and aids people in detection and prevention.
