Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Heart rate and autonomic cardiac regulation vary systematically across different sleep phases, such as distinguishing between NREM and REM sleep.

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently shows that heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV) metrics shift characteristically between wakefulness, non-REM (NREM), and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, supporting the claim that heart rate and its autonomic regulation are indicative of sleep phase.
