Sleep parameters extracted from the sleep/wake state sequences resulting from the application of a real-time classification model that includes information from five past and zero future epochs, for all nights in the DS1-test (including the ones without consecutive PSG recordings). Since no user marker was available for the nights without PSG, sleep onset latency was calculated from the set bedtime at 23:00 h.

Positive values of bias indicate underestimation by the second sensor relative to the first (p-values from Student's t-test for the null-hypothesis that the bias is zero). Limits of Agreement given as [bias −1.96*SD, bias +1.96*SD]; SD, standard deviation for paired differences.

*n = 12, mean age ± SD: 23.0 ± 3.1 years, 5 male, 11 nights of actigraphy + two radars per participant. The participants were randomly assigned into a training set for model development (n = 63/59 for nightstand/ceiling), and a testing set for validation (n = 63/58 for nightstand/ceiling).

SOL, Sleep Onset Latency; TST, Total Sleep Time; WASO, Wake After Sleep Onset; SE, Sleep Efficiency; NW, Number of awakenings.

PSG, polysomnography.
