[0003] The demand for sleep statistics is indeed not hard, so if this not-so-hard demand is troublesome to achieve, people will have no motivation to persist. If there is a sleep monitoring device that does not require people to adjust the switch, and can automatically detect the human body's sleep status for a long time without feeling, it will be very convenient and intelligent for users to use. Therefore, non-contact tracking of changes in human body signs can understand what qualitative changes have occurred in people during sleep, and then automatically turn on the detection function, and finally give users complete sleep statistics and sleep quality assessments. In this way, you can know which indicators in your sleep process are abnormal, which can help you better manage your health, discover potential health problems, and take appropriate measures for prevention and treatment.

When the characteristics of the data sample are within the range of the cluster center, it is judged as a "sleep" state, otherwise, it is judged as a "non-sleep" state; a multi-feature optimization function is used as the weight when updating the cluster center to reduce the influence of outliers in the data sample on the accuracy of the cluster center, and further update the "sleep" and "non-sleep" state judgment rules; a step-by-step clustering processing method is designed based on the data set of the identified "sleep" state, and the feature judgment rules for different sleep stages of light sleep, rapid eye movement and deep sleep are obtained respectively; finally, the sleep state of the whole night sleep time series is staged.

7. The sleep quality assessment system based on non-contact UWB radar vital sign signals according to claim 2, characterized in that: The scoring process includes the following steps: Refer to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and combine it with sleep health indicators to develop a sleep quality scoring standard, and then select 7 health indicators for scoring and evaluation; Among them: each of the 7 health indicators is scored at different levels, and the accumulated scores of each health indicator are the sleep quality reduction points. The total score ranges from 0 to 50. The higher the score, the worse the sleep quality.

8. The sleep quality assessment system based on non-contact UWB radar vital sign signals according to claim 6, characterized in that: The sleep stage time-sharing sequence is divided into four structures, wherein the four structures include early sleep stage, middle sleep stage, late sleep stage and sleep awakening. Some of the vital sign data that are counted include the heart rate, respiratory rate and body movement throughout the night.

9. The sleep quality assessment system based on non-contact UWB radar vital sign signals according to claim 7, characterized in that: The descriptions of the 7 health indicators and the specific scoring methods are as follows: (A) When falling asleep: "<23:00" is scored as A1; "23-24:00" is scored as A2; "00-01:00" is scored as A3; "after 01:00" is scored as A4; (B) Total sleep time; ">7 hours" is scored as B1; "6-7" is scored as B2; "5-6" is scored as B3; "<5 hours" is scored as B4; (C) Deep sleep percentage; "<10%" is scored as C1; "10-15%" is scored as C2; "15-20%" is scored as C3; ">20% is scored as C4; (D) Number of awake times; "0 times" was scored as D1; ​​"1-2 times" was scored as D2; "3-5 times" was scored as D3; ">5 times" was scored as D4; (E) Sleep latency; "≤30 minutes" is scored as E1; ">30 minutes" is scored as E2; (F) Abnormal sleep results; "normal early sleep" is counted as F1; "abnormal early sleep" is counted as F2; ​​"normal mid-sleep" is counted as F3; "abnormal mid-sleep" is counted as F4; "normal late sleep" is counted as F5; "abnormal late sleep" is counted as F6; "normal waking up from sleep" is counted as F7; "abnormal waking up from sleep" is counted as F8; (G) Body movement; "≤6 times" is scored as G1; ">6 times" is scored as G2; Total sleep score = 100-(component A + component B + component C + component D + component E + component F + component G score); Sleep evaluation: "0-59 points" is poor; "60-69 points" is passing; "70-79 points" is fair; "80-89 points" is good; "90-100 points" is excellent.
