• Abstract: Monitoring sleep posture and behavior is critical for diagnosing sleep disorders and improving overall sleep quality. However, traditional approaches, such as wearable devices, cameras, and pressure sensors, often compromise user comfort, fail under obstructions like blankets, and raise privacy concerns. To overcome these limitations, we present RestAware, a non-invasive, contactless sleep monitoring system based on a 24GHz frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar. Our system is evaluated on 25 participants across eight common sleep postures, achieving 92% classification accuracy and an F1-score of 0.91 using a K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) classifier. In addition, we integrate instruction-tuned large language models (Mistral, Llama, and Falcon) to generate personalized, human-readable sleep summaries from radar-derived posture data. This low-cost ($ 35), privacy-preserving solution offers a practical alternative for real-time deployment in smart homes and clinical environments.

• REST: Robust and Efficient Neural Networks for Sleep Monitoring in the Wild [62.36144064259933]
  We propose REST, a new method that simultaneously tackles both issues via adversarial training and controlling the Lipschitz constant of the neural network. We demonstrate that REST produces highly-robust and efficient models that substantially outperform the original full-sized models in the presence of noise. By deploying these models to an Android application on a smartphone, we quantitatively observe that REST allows models to achieve up to 17x energy reduction and 9x faster inference.
