“…Sleep takes up about one-third of our lives. As shown in Figure 1 , the COVID-19 outbreak has affected people’s sleep in many ways [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, it has been reported that many people’s sleep duration has increased, but at the same time, the sleep quality has declined, and the sleep time has changed [ 1 ].…”

“…Finally, women with severe premenstrual syndrome (PMS) have poorer sleep quality, which may be related to altered melatonin rhythms [ 17 ]. There are also a variety of sleep disorders that may affect patients’ quality of life, such as obstructive sleep apnea, chronic insomnia, narcolepsy, delayed sleep–wake phase disorder, and Kleine–Levin syndrome [ 3 ].…”

Sleep is an essential physiological activity, accounting for about one-third of our lives, which significantly impacts our memory, mood, health, and children’s growth. Especially after the COVID-19 epidemic, sleep health issues have attracted more attention. In recent years, with the development of wearable electronic devices, there have been more and more studies, products, or solutions related to sleep monitoring. Many mature technologies, such as polysomnography, have been applied to clinical practice. However, it is urgent to develop wearable or non-contacting electronic devices suitable for household continuous sleep monitoring. This paper first introduces the basic knowledge of sleep and the significance of sleep monitoring. Then, according to the types of physiological signals monitored, this paper describes the research progress of bioelectrical signals, biomechanical signals, and biochemical signals used for sleep monitoring. However, it is not ideal to monitor the sleep quality for the whole night based on only one signal. Therefore, this paper reviews the research on multi-signal monitoring and introduces systematic sleep monitoring schemes. Finally, a conclusion and discussion of sleep monitoring are presented to propose potential future directions and prospects for sleep monitoring.
