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.

arXiv:2606. 18506v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Objective sleep assessment relies on polysomnography (PSG), yet clinical impact is often better reflected in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) such as sleepiness and fatigue.
