abstract = "This paper presents an analysis of sleep patterns and environmental noise levels recorded from 21 participants wearing smartwatches and 5 participants using ECG devices in patient rooms (A3) and outdoor areas on the 4th floor of an inpatient ward. Sleep data revealed variations in sleep
stages among participants, with an average distribution of 60% wake, 10% REM, 22% light, and 8% deep sleep. Environmental noise levels were measured at different times of day, showing higher levels during the day and lower levels at night, with an average LAeq of 53.4 dB for 24 hours. Comparisons
between indoor and outdoor areas and different times of day indicate fluctuations in noise levels, with outdoor areas generally exhibiting higher noise levels. These findings contribute to understanding sleep patterns and noise exposure in healthcare settings, highlighting the need for further
research to explore the impact of environmental factors on sleep quality and patient well-being.",
