Abstract

With the increasing pressure of life in the present society, sleep problem has gradually become an important problem that influences most people. Sleep stage monitoring has become a reference standard for evaluating sleep quality, diagnosing sleep disorders and preventing sleep apnea. At present, the commonly used polysomnography sleep stage monitoring method has some shortcomings, such as complicated operation process, huge volume of monitoring equipment, extremely inconvenient measurement process, and the possibility to induce a variety of physiological artifacts interference. In this paper, electroencephalogram (EEG) is adopted to analyze the signal of the brain and thus to classify the sleep stage. Empirical mode decomposition method is used to denoise the EEG signals and the detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) method is applied to extract the scale characteristics of the EEG. Artificial neural network is further employed to classify the sleep stage. The results show that the proposed method can discriminate different stages during sleep.
