Sleep disorders seriously affect human health and life. Accurate classification of sleep stages is the key to detecting and treating sleep disorders. In recent years, methods based on deep learning have surpassed traditional machine learning methods and human experts. However, the internal structure of deep learning is complex and requires to be designed by expert who is familiar with the computer and medical fields. This paper aims to analyze the relational induction biases in the existing sleep staging model based on deep learning, and explores the basic principles of sleep staging model design. This paper analyzes relational induction biases such as translation invariance, time invariance and hierarchical processing. Firstly, the model is divided into three categories according to whether it contains convolution layer with translation invariance and recurrent layer with time invariance: convolutional neural network framework, recurrent neural network framework and hybrid neural network framework. Secondly, according to the hierarchical processing method of the frame, segment and sequence in the model, a more detailed classification is carried out. Thirdly, it analyzes the impact of different relational induction biases in the model on the performance of sleep staging. It is proposed that a relational inductive bias matched the task should be introduced when the automatic sleep staging model is designed. Finally, the advantages and limitations of sleep staging based on deep learning are discussed, and it may be necessary to use more advanced relationship induction bias to express knowledge more abstractly and combine it with other artificial intelligence technologies in the future.
