A sleep study is the gold standard, but sleep trackers like Oura reportedly getting pretty good and a lot cheaper and easier.

My son just had one, and they said they found nothing. But looking around, apparently most sleep studies in USA just look for sleep apnea. By default they don't actually look for anything else.
You need at least an EEG to have even a remote chance of getting good data. No smartwatches or rings will do the trick. Zeo was a good one, but discontinued 10 years back.
