The pros and cons of using automated sleep scoring in sleep research.

Sleep scoring plays a pivotal role both in sleep research and in clinical practice. Traditionally, this process has relied on manual scoring by human experts, but it is marred by time constraints, and inconsistencies between different scorers. Consequently, the quest for more efficient and reliable approaches has sparked a great interest in the realm of automatic sleep scoring methods. In this article, we provide an exploration of the merits and drawbacks of automatic sleep scoring, alongside the pressing challenges and critical considerations that demand attention in this evolving field.
