Yes, but...: There are eeg changes associated with obstructive sleep apnea, but to completely diagnose osa and know what is needed to treat it, you need to be monitoring oxygen levels while sleeping.

Currently there're 2 ways of diagnosing sleep apnea: HST ( home sleep testing) and polysomogragy (in-lab offical sleep study) .
