Abstract
The present disclosure pertains to a system configured to output an indicator representative of effects of stimulation provided to a subject during a sleep session. The indicator is determined based on a combination of the effect of stimulation on sleep restoration, stimulation quality, sleep architecture factors, and/or other information. The indicator is determined using age matched reference information on deep sleep duration and EEG slow wave activity. The contribution to the indicator associated with sleep architecture factors is determined based on age matched reference information including sleep onset latency, wake after sleep onset, total sleep time, micro-arousal count, sleep stage(s) prior to awakening, and/or other information.
