Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, "Diagnosis and Management of Sleep Disorders 2024", will provide an in-depth analysis of the latest research on the diagnosis and management of sleep disorders. Articles discussing the various sleep disorders and their causes, symptoms, and diagnosis options are welcome. This Special Issue will also highlight the importance of recognizing sleep disorders in different populations and the role of various health care professionals in managing these disorders. It is designed to assist health care professionals in improving the diagnosis and management of sleep disorders and enhancing patient outcomes.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

This research paper outlines a method for automatically classifying wakefulness and deep sleep stage (N3) based on the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) standards. The study employed a single-channel EEG signal, leveraging the Wigner–Ville Distribution (WVD) for time–frequency analysis to determine EEG energy per second in specific frequency bands (δ, θ, α, and entire band). Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) was used to optimize thresholds for distinguishing between wakefulness and stage N3. This process aims to mimic a sleep technician’s visual scoring but in an automated fashion, with features and thresholds extracted to classify epochs into correct sleep stages. The study’s methodology was validated using overnight PSG recordings from 20 subjects, which were evaluated by a technician. The PSG setup followed the 10–20 standard system with varying sampling rates from different hospitals. Two baselines, T1 for the wake stage and T2 for the N3 stage, were calculated using PSO to ascertain the best thresholds, which were then used to classify EEG epochs. The results showed high sensitivity, accuracy, and kappa coefficient, indicating the effectiveness of the classification algorithm. They suggest that the proposed method can reliably determine sleep stages, being aligned closely with the AASM standards and offering an intuitive approach. The paper highlights the strengths of the proposed method over traditional classifiers and expresses the intentions to extend the algorithm to classify all sleep stages in the future. Full article
