1. A method comprising:
- processing data in a first dataset that represents time-varying information about at least one pulse pressure wave propagating through blood in a subject acquired at a location of the subject while the subject is sleeping;
processing data in a second dataset that represents time-varying information about motion of the subject acquired at the location of the subject while the subject is sleeping; and
determining, based on the data, information about a characteristic of the subject'"'"'s sleep.

49. A biofeedback device configured to be worn by a subject, the device comprising:
-
a light source configured to emit light toward the skin of the subject; an optical sensor configured to; receive the emitted light after the emitted light reflects off of the skin of the subject; and provide data that corresponds to a characteristic of the received light, the data representing time-varying information about at least one pulse pressure wave propagating through blood in the subject acquired by the optical sensor at a location of the subject; a motion sensor configured to provide data that represents time-varying information about motion of the subject acquired by the motion sensor at the location of the subject; and a processor configured to; receive data from one or more of the light-emitting element, the optical sensor, and the motion sensor; and determine, based on the data, information about a characteristic of the subject'"'"'s sleep.

50. One or more machine-readable storage devices storing instructions that are executable by one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising:
-
processing data in a first dataset that represents time-varying information about at least one pulse pressure wave propagating through blood in a subject acquired at a location of the subject while the subject is sleeping; processing data in a second dataset that represents time-varying information about motion of the subject acquired at the location of the subject while the subject is sleeping; and determining, based on the data, information about a characteristic of the subject'"'"'s sleep.
