Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Cardiorespiratory signals provide a novel perspective for understanding sleep structure through the physiological mechanism of cardiopulmonary coupling. This mechanism divides the coupling spectrum into high-frequency (HF) and low-frequency (LF) bands, indicating that signal segments of 4-8 min are optimal for analysis. However, the lack of labels tailored to these signals has led to reliance on the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) definitions, which are primarily designed for electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrooculogram (EOG) data. This study aims to address the challenge of transitioning from AASM-defined labels to cardiorespiratory-oriented ones and to evaluate the feasibility of using these signals for accurate sleep structure recognition.
