One of the important measures for sleep quailty is sleep structure. Normal sleep consists of awake, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep states. NREM sleep can be further classified into stage 1, stage 2 and slow wave sleep (SWS). These stages can be analyzed quantitatively from various electrical signals such as the electroencephalogram (EEG), electro-oculogram (EOG), and electromyogram (EMG).
The goal of this research is to develop a simple four-stage process to classify sleep into wake, REM, stage 1, stage 2 and SWS by using a single EEG channel. By applying the proposed approach to 48727 distinct epochs which are acquired from 62 persons, the experimental results show that the proposed method is achieves 76.98% of accuracy. The sensitivity and PPV for wake are 85.96% and 68.35%. Furthermore, the sensitivity and PPV for REM are 82.13% and 74.11%, respectively. The sensitivity and PPV for the stage 1 are 9.02% and 39.00%. The sensitivity and PPV for the stage 2 are 84.19% and 79.36%. The sensitivity and PPV for SWS are 81.53% and 85.40%.
