HUMAN STRESS LEVEL IDENTIFICATION USING MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS BASED ON SLEEPING PATTERNS

Abstract

Stress is a mental or emotional state brought on by demanding or unavoidable circumstances, also referred to as stressors. In order to prevent any unfavorable occurrences in life, it is crucial to understand human stress levels. Sleep disturbances are related to a number of physical, mental, and social problems. This study's main objective is to investigate how human stress might be detected using machine learning algorithms based on sleep-related behaviors. The obtained dataset includes various sleep habits and stress levels. Six machine learning techniques, including Multilayer Perception (MLP), Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Trees, Naïve Bayes and Logistic Regression were utilized in the classification level after the data had been preprocessed in order to compare and obtain the most accurate results. Based on the experiment results, it can be concluded that the Decision tree algorithm, when used to classify the data, can do so with 93.27% accuracy, high precision, recall, and f1measure values, as well as the lowest mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean squared error rates (RMSE). We can estimate human stress levels using the study's findings, and we can address pertinent problems as soon as possible.
