Automatic sleep stage classification is vital for evaluating the quality of sleep. Conventionally, sleep is monitored using multiple physiological sensors that are uncomfortable for long-term monitoring and require expert intervention. In this study, we propose an automatic technique for multi-stage sleep classification using photoplethysmographic (PPG) signal. We have proposed a convolutional neural network (CNN) that learns directly from the PPG signal and classifies multiple sleep stages. We developed models for two- (Wake-Sleep), three- (Wake-NREMREM) and four- (Wake-Light sleep-Deep sleep-REM) stages of sleep classification. Our proposed approach shows an average classification accuracy of 96.30%, 95.96%, and 93.60% for two, three, and four stages, respectively. Experimental results show that the proposed CNN model outperforms existing state-of-the-art models (classical and deep learning) in the literature.
