Wearable devices offer detailed sleep-tracking data. However, whether this information enhances our understanding of sleep or simply quantifies already-known patterns remains unclear. This work explores the relationship between subjective…
Poor sleep habits may cause serious problems of mind and body, and it is a commonly observed issue for college students due to study workload as well as peer and social influence. Understanding its impact and identifying students with poor…
Non-invasive mobile wearables like fitness trackers, smartwatches and rings allow for an easier and relatively less expensive approach to study everyday human behaviour when compared to traditional longitudinal methods. Here we have…
Sleep is among the most important factors affecting one's daily performance, well-being, and life quality. Nevertheless, it became possible to measure it in daily life in an unobtrusive manner with wearable devices. Rather than camera…
Shorter sleep is known to be negatively associated with academic performance. However, this result has mostly been found in homogenous samples (e.g., students from one university) or when using relative measures of academic performance,…
The availability of commercial wearable trackers equipped with features to monitor sleep duration and quality has enabled more useful sleep health monitoring applications and analyses. However, much research has reported the challenge of…
Sleep disorders can be a negative factor both for learning as for the mental and physical development of adolescents. It has been shown that, in many populations, adolescents tend to have a poor sleep quality, and a very late chronotype.…
With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, most colleges and universities move to restrict campus activities, reduce indoor gatherings and move instruction online. These changes required that students adapt and alter their daily…
During the transition from high school to on-campus college life, a student leaves home and starts facing enormous life changes, including meeting new people, more responsibilities, being away from family, and academic challenges. These…
The rise in popularity of physical activity trackers provides extensive opportunities for research on personal health, however, barriers such as compliance attrition can lead to substantial losses in data. As such, insights into student's…
The quality of sleep has a deep impact on people's physical and mental health. People with insufficient sleep are more likely to report physical and mental distress, activity limitation, anxiety, and pain. Moreover, in the past few years,…
Background: We propose a method for estimating the timing of in-bed intervals using objective data in a large representative U.S. sample, and quantify the association between these intervals and age, sex, and day of the week. Methods: The…
Gender differences were examined in sensitivity to sleep quality, in the context of blue light exposure from smartphones. Our hypothesis was created based on our journal article findings that females are more prone to be inclined to the…
Smartwatches (SWs) can continuously and autonomously monitor vital signs, including heart rates and physical activities involving wrist movement. The monitoring capability of SWs has several key health benefits arising from their role in…
The global mental health crisis is a pressing concern, with college students particularly vulnerable to rising mental health disorders. The widespread use of smartphones among young adults, while offering numerous benefits, has also been…
Human cognitive performance is an underlying factor in most of our daily lives, and numerous factors influence cognitive performance. In this work, we investigate how changes in sleep quality influence cognitive performance, measured from a…
Among the general population, students are especially sensitive to social media and smartphones because of their pervasiveness. Several studies have shown that there is a negative correlation between social media and academic performance…
University students encounter various forms of stress during their academic journey, including cyclical stress associated with final exams. Supporting their well-being means helping them manage their stress levels. In this study, we used a…
This study analyzes patterns of physical, mental, lifestyle, and personality factors in college students in different periods over the course of a semester and models their relationships with students' academic performance. The data…
Sleep constitutes a key indicator of human health, performance, and quality of life. Sleep deprivation has long been related to the onset, development, and worsening of several mental and metabolic disorders, constituting an essential…
