This invention mainly discloses an EOG-based sleep staging method which is used to improve of an accuracy of automatic sleep judging result. The method may be executed by a processor and comprises steps of reading a to-be-test data having a variation depending on time of EOG generated by a user during a sleep process; acquiring a plurality of eye movement characteristics based on a variation of the EOG of a period, with the characteristics including an eye movement ratio, a blink count, a low frequency power ratio, a high frequency power ratio, an alpha rhythm ratio, a spindle rhythm ratio, a delta rhythm ratio and an average amplitude of eletrooculogram (EOG) signals; and determining a sleep state of the period is a 'WAKE stage', a 'REM stage', a &#x201c;S1 stage&#x201d;, a &#x201c;S2 stage&#x201d;, or a &#x201c;SWS stage&#x201d; based on the EOG characteristics. Furthermore, a computer readable medium with stored programs, and electronic apparatuses are provided.
