Discriminations of wake/LS/DS/REM sleep and wake/NREM sleep/REM sleep are based on all epochs. For the discrimination of NREM sleep/REM sleep that does not include wake, we transformed the confusion matrix by removing the wake column and row; the same transformation was undertaken for the LS/DS discrimination by removing both wake and REM sleep. CI = confidence interval, CReSS = CardioRespiratory Sleep Staging, DS = deep sleep (corresponding to N3), LS = light sleep (corresponding to N1 + N2), NREM = non-REM, REM = rapid eye movement, SDB = sleep-disordered breathing, SHHS = Sleep Heart Health Study.
