It's exciting to see specific validation for our industry.
We've seen a similar phenomenon with athletes, which drove us to create a sleep improvement app, called Rise Science (https://www.risescience.com https://www.risescience.com), for athletes that tells them what to do to improve their sleep tonight based on science. It's currently being used by both professional and collegiate teams across the NFL, MLB, NBA, MLS, and NCAAF.
We're now taking what we've learned from athletes and adapting it so anyone can engage in a lifelong practice of healthy sleep. If you're interested in helping test the early beta version of our app sign up here: http://bit.ly/hacker-friends http://bit.ly/hacker-friends
(for those interested in similar studies, here's a related paper from a friend of Rise at Stanford, where they quantify the impact of less sleep on cognitive performance using web search interactions as a proxy: http://timalthoff.de/docs/althoff-2017-population_scale_physiological_sensing.pdf http://timalthoff.de/docs/althoff-2017-population_scale_phys...)

- oddie 7y agoIt's been really helpful for quickly helping folks who have issues during the early beta. It's early, so not everything is perfect—we're working at full speed to make improvements and roll out new features.
