Abstract ac.kr 4 Department of Biomedical Engineering, College of Medicine, Background: In sleep efficiency monitoring system, actigraphy is the simplest and Seoul National University, Seoul, most commonly used device. However, low specificity to wakefulness of actigraphy Republic of Korea was revealed in previous studies. In this study, we assumed that sleep/wake Full list of author information is available at the end of the article estimation using actigraphy and electromyography (EMG) signals would show different patterns. Furthermore, each EMG pattern in two states (sleep, wake during sleep) was analysed. Finally, we proposed two types of method for the estimation of sleep/wake patterns using only EMG signals from anterior tibialis muscles and the results were compared with PSG data. Methods: Seven healthy subjects and five patients (2 obstructive sleep apnea, 3 periodic limb movement disorder) participated in this study. Night time polysomnography (PSG) recordings were conducted, and electrooculogram, EMG,
