Abstract - Around 970 million people face mental health disorders across the world and depression affects 75% of these people because of their sleep disturbances. The connection between persistent sleep problems and depression emerges when affected individuals become twice as likely to develop depression thus establishing sleep as a major sign for mental health forecasting. Current approaches to this problem deal with three key issues which are dataset biases, small available sample sizes along with the reliance on self-reported symptoms instead of actual physiological signals. Our deep learning solution relies on multi-channel Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to analyze wearable sensor data because it tackles existing analysis limitations. DreamT-150 contains heart rate (HR), blood volume pulse (BVP) and electrothermal activity (EDA) measurements from 150 sleep patients. Three models including MultiChannelCNN and MultiChannelEfficientNet and MultiChannelResNet analyzed the signals which appeared as time-series graphs. The best model proved to be EfficientNet-B0 because it demonstrated superior generalization. The pre-trained layers from EfficientNet adjusted the vulnerability of training loss which led to stable model performance. The research demonstrates sleep-derived physiological signals' usefulness for non-invasive mental health predictions which can lead to real-time monitoring systems. The upcoming research aims to boost both dataset range and better models for clinical adoption requirements.
