We analyze large scale (N~10000) time use surveys in United States, Spain, Italy, France and Great Britain to ascertain seasonal variations in the sleep/wake cycle and the labor cycle after daylight saving time -- summer time arrangements…
We study the influence of seasonally and geographically related daily dynamics of daylight and ambient temperature on human resting or sleeping patterns using mobile phone data of a large number of individuals. We observe two daily…
Ambient temperatures are rising globally, with the greatest increases recorded at night. Concurrently, the prevalence of insufficient sleep is increasing in many populations, with substantial costs to human health and well-being. Even…
We study the dynamics of the awakening during the night for healthy subjects and find that the wake and the sleep periods exhibit completely different behavior: the durations of wake periods are characterized by a scale-free power-law…
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…
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,…
1000 words comment on a paper published in the European Journal of Internal Medicine by a panel of experts. My point is authors address the magnitude of the change (one hour) but fail to consider in any way its seasonal features. DST is not…
Background: The debate over daylight saving time has surged, with interests in the effects of sunlight exposure on health. \commentnj{Prior studies simulated daylight saving time and standard time conditions by analyzing different locations…
The COVID-19 pandemic led to various containment strategies, such as work-from-home policies and reduced social contact, which significantly altered people's sleep patterns. Our study, conducted from June 2021 to June 2022, longitudinally…
Sleep traits are shaped by genetic and environmental factors and may influence many health conditions. The All of Us Research Program, which includes EHR, physical measurements, genomic data, and wearable data across ancestry groups,…
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…
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…
While sleepiness assessment metrics were initially developed in medical research to study the effects of drugs on sleep, subjective sleepiness assessment is now widely used in both fundamental and applied studies. The Stanford Sleepiness…
A sleep forecast allows individuals and healthcare providers to anticipate and proactively address factors influencing restful rest, ultimately improving mental and physical well-being. This work presents an adaptive spatial and temporal…
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…
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 stage classification is a common method used by experts to monitor the quantity and quality of sleep in humans, but it is a time-consuming and labour-intensive task with high inter- and intra-observer variability. Using Wavelets for…
Sleep is critical to leading a healthy lifestyle. Each day, most people go to sleep without any idea about how their night's rest is going to be. For an activity that humans spend around a third of their life doing, there is a surprising…
Quality sleep is very important for a healthy life. Nowadays, many people around the world are not getting enough sleep which is having negative impacts on their lifestyles. Studies are being conducted for sleep monitoring and have now…
Objective. Sleep duration may vary inter-individually and intra-individually over time. We aimed at both identifying night-sleep duration (NSD) trajectories among preschoolers and studying associated factors. Methods. NSD were collected…
