    The study investigates using respiratory pattern stability from piezoelectric sensors to classify REM and NREM sleep stages.

  • 2

    Data from 85 clinical subjects were analyzed, excluding wake epochs, to focus on binary REM/NREM classification.

  • 3

    Combining conventional body-movement features with TWED-based respiratory features achieved an accuracy of 84.39%.

  • 4

    TWED-based features improved classification performance, indicating their value in enhancing REM/NREM discrimination.

  • 5

    The proposed method serves as a low-burden tool for home monitoring but is not a replacement for clinical PSG.
