Claim 0:
1. A computer program product comprising computer executable code embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium that, when executing on one or more computing devices, performs the steps of:
acquiring sensor data with a remote server coupled to a wearable physiological monitor remotely through a data network, wherein the wearable physiological monitor is worn by a user during a sleep interval, and wherein the sensor data includes photoplethysmography data and accelerometer data;
detecting a waking event by analyzing the accelerometer data to locate physical movement inconsistent with sleep;
in response to the waking event, evaluating whether an intention of the user is to stay awake or return to sleep using a probabilistic analysis based on historical sleep data to determine a probability that the intention of the user is to stay awake based on at least one of a duration of the sleep interval and a duration of the physical movement inconsistent with sleep; and
processing the intention by:
in response to determining with the remote server that it is more likely that the intention of the user is to stay awake,
receiving additional data from the wearable physiological monitor at the remote server for sleep analysis,
performing the sleep analysis, wherein the sleep analysis includes a calculation of one or more sleep metrics that evaluate a quality and a duration of the sleep interval, and
providing the sleep analysis to a user device for display to the user, and

in response to determining that it is more likely that the intention of the user is to return to sleep, deferring the sleep analysis by the remote server and monitoring for an additional waking event upon which to evaluate the intention of the user.
