A peritoneal dialysis system includes a control unit configured to (i) store a sleep state pattern for the patient, (ii) begin a patient drain followed by a patient fill when at least one sensor indicates that the patient is in a deep sleep state, (iii) extend a dwell period if the sleep state pattern indicates that the patient will enter a subsequent deep sleep state within a first time duration after a programmed dwell period, and (iv) shorten the dwell period if the sleep state pattern indicates that the patient will leave the deep sleep state within a second time duration after an end of the programmed dwell period. The system alternatively or additionally assesses or records a stress level of and/or a fluid/caloric intake by the patient and takes actions accordingly.
