Rethinking PPG-based Sleep Staging: Datasets, Metrics, and Benchmarks

arXiv:2608. 00943v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automated sleep staging assigns discrete stage labels to successive time epochs throughout an overnight recording; conventionally each window spans at least 30 seconds, reflecting the minimum temporal resolution of the clinical scoring standard.

Comparative Analysis of State-of-the-Art Foundation Models for Sleep Analysis Under Channel Reduction

The study compares six state‑of‑the‑art sleep‑staging foundation models on the MESA polysomnography dataset under three signal conditions: EEG only, ECG only, and EEG+ECG. Results show that EEG alone yields the highest accuracy (BIOT macro‑F1 = 0.7237), while switching to ECG alone incurs a consistent accuracy loss of about 0.35 macro‑F1 and reduces data rate to one‑third. Adding ECG to EEG offers little benefit for most models, indicating that EEG carries most of the sleep‑staging signal and that wearable‑compatible ECG alone is a viable but less accurate alternative.

StageGuard: Physiologically Constrained Sleep Staging

arXiv:2607. 23284v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated sleep staging is increasingly used in large-scale studies to derive sleep-architecture endpoints: total sleep time, REM latency, sleep efficiency, and bout-duration statistics.
