Studying Sleep with Wearable Devices: How technology can help us sleep better

A good night’s sleep is one of the keys to feeling good the next day. But how do we know if we’re getting enough?

Doctor Stuti Jaiswal and her colleagues at the Scripps Research Translational Institute and the Digital Trials Center recently launched a study called REFRESH. It uses wearable data to track participants’ sleep.

Since participants never have to go to a lab, researchers can see how they sleep over long periods of time, and gain insight into how sleep affects their health.

As technology advances, and studies like refresh give researchers a better understanding of sleep, a day could come when everyone has the tools to sleep better.
