Of the three abstracts that were accepted at World Sleep Congress, two will be featured in oral presentations by Luke Gahan, SleepScore Data Science Lead and Elie Gottlieb, PhD, SleepScore Applied Sleep Scientist. The first presentation focuses on the influence age has on how external sleep disturbances impact our nightly sleep. The analysis, based on data from over 92,000 users, suggests that as we get older, less environmental disruptors attributed to light, temperature, and noise are reported. This research suggests that optimizing bedroom environments may actually have the greatest impact on younger populations compared to older.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy sharing our ecologically-valid big data scientific outputs and publications at global conferences, SleepScore\u2019s applied science allows us to be the bridge between public policy, academia, and consumer sleep research,\u201d said Dr. Gottlieb. \u201cThese longitudinal analyses leveraging SleepScore\u2019s validated non-contact measurement technologies continue to push the field of applied sleep research forward with the goal of advancing our understanding and improvement of population sleep health across the lifespan.\u201d<\/p>\n
The second abstract to be presented delves into how our sleep changes seasonally. As days become longer, the study found that our sleep schedules shift, most notably in the form of later bedtimes and morning wake times, ultimately resulting in reductions in sleep duration and sleep efficiency compared to winter months. The study further found that in the summertime, weekend and weekday sleep patterns are quite similar, a pattern suggesting that both social (external) and biological (internal) factors may be at play.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur access to big datasets at SleepScore Labs provides us with a unique opportunity to carry out scientific research at scale,\u201d noted Gahan. \u201cThe combination of our data science expertise and our PSG validated sleep tracking technology allows us to carry out analyses that would have been virtually impossible to execute just a few years ago. In this analysis, we were able to build a detailed picture of how Americans\u2019 sleep changes over the course of a year, allowing us to better understand what has the biggest impact on sleep month over month.\u201d<\/p>\n
The sleep science company has submitted 14 new abstracts to SLEEP 2022 and continues to build its repository of sleep data, allowing for the development of original research both to help advance our broader understanding of sleep and to bring cutting edge sleep science to strategic partner’s product innovations.<\/p>\n
