Abstract
A system and method is provided for tracking sleep dynamics in a subject. In one aspect, a method includes acquiring physiological data using sensors positioned about the subject, and acquiring behavioral data using input provided by the subject. The method also includes generating a statistical model of wakefulness by combining information obtained from the acquired physiological data and behavior data, and estimating a probability indicative of a degree to which the subject is awake at each point in time during sleep onset using the statistical model. The method further includes generating a report indicative of sleep onset in the subject.
