Abstract

Sleep stage classification is critical for diagnosing and managing disorders like sleep apnea and insomnia. However, conventional methods like polysomnography are costly and impractical for long-term, home-based monitoring. This study presents an energy-efficient approach for detecting four sleep stages (wake, rapid eye movement (REM), light sleep, deep sleep) using a single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. We evaluate various machine learning and deep learning models, introducing two windowing strategies: (1) a 5-minute window with 30-second steps for machine learning and (2) a 30-second window with 10-second steps for deep learning, enabling 10-second temporal resolution for real-time predictions. While deep learning models like MobileNet-v1 achieve high accuracy (92%) and F1-score (91%), their energy demands make them unsuitable for wearables. To address this, we design SleepLiteCNN, optimized for ECG-based sleep staging, achieving 89% accuracy and 89% F1-score while minimizing energy use. Applying 8-bit quantization further reduces energy consumption to 5.48 \(\mu\) J per inference, with 90% accuracy and F1-score. Additionally, field-programmable gate array (FPGA) deployment shows significant reductions in resource usage. This approach provides a practical, energy-efficient solution for continuous ECG-based sleep monitoring in resource-constrained wearable devices.
