Nighttime wood?

I'm 6.5 months post-surgery, and I'm starting to see encouraging signs of ED recovery.

I still use bimix (standard concentration, 0.25ml) frequently, but am also getting pretty good wood with 100mg Viagra, and recently got my first noticeable response (5/10) with no meds at all.

I never wake with an erection, but rarely did before my surgery either.

Is there any way to know if I am getting nighttime wood?

I believe there are 'devices' you can use to monitor your status while you sleep. My understanding is that you talk to your doctor about doing a 'sleep study' of your problem and he will refer you to the guy who will set you up with the machine for a couple of nights. I'm at work just now so there is only so much Googling of such matters I am willing to do just now but you can probably find details, somewhere, in the uncharted vastness of the interwebs.

Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) test

The NPT test checks whether a man is having normal erections during sleep. Most men have 3 to 5 full erections during deep (rapid eye movement, or REM) sleep. Men who do not have erections because of psychological problems can still have erections during deep sleep. Occasionally, some sleep problems or serious depression can prevent these normal nighttime (nocturnal) erections.

This test can be done at home or in a special sleep lab. One of two ways may be used.

A simple ringlike device called a snap gauge made up of plastic films is fitted around the penis. The films break at certain pressures. So an erection during sleep will cause the film to snap.
An electronic monitoring device records how many, how long, and how rigid the erections are during sleep. An electronic monitoring device is more expensive than using the snap gauge, but it is more accurate and gives more detailed information about erections during sleep.

Tests are usually done for at least two nights in a row. If good erections occur during sleep, the cause of the erection problems probably is not physical.

The NPT test may also be called the stamp test or the rigidity test.
