I was actually a bit surprised by the low regression coefficient values in figure 3. To me, the low values say that many of those features are not hugely important. The authors don’t emphasize this, but they also found that going to sleep later correlated with higher morning alertness.
My own takeaway from the data is a bit different from what the authors say conversationally (vs in the figures). I’d summarize the paper, mostly based on figure 5b, as:
Try to be happy, old, sleep well, and don’t eat too frequently.
In terms of breakfast, the data’s main conclusions are to avoid a lot of sugar (which is hugely important), and to wait a while before eating breakfast (see fig 3).
- Cruncharoo 4y agothey also found that going to sleep later correlated with higher morning alertness I always found this to be true for myself--if I got 6 hours of sleep I'd be much more alert in the morning than if I got 8.
- sedeki 4y agoSame here. But I always associated it with stress.
- xeromal 4y agoI feel the same way but after wearing a heart rate monitor, it definitely detects a higher daily average heart rate so it can't be healthy. Normal days: 50-55bpm Low sleep days: 63-68bpm
- NathanielK 4y agoI've noticed similar. I've woken up early, taken my pulse and notice it was a bit high and used that to decide to go back to sleep.
- _JoRo 4y agoI've always feel like I get my best quality sleep when I go to bed extremely tired.
- sidpatil 4y agoThis could have to do with whether you're waking up in between versus in the middle of a sleep cycle. From what I understand, the former is preferable to the latter.
- ilyt 4y agoWell, it is "morning alertness", from what I've observed on myself "bad" (whether short or interrupted) sleep have far higher negative impact on rest of the day than morning.
- gnulinux 4y agoTo me it's the exact opposite. I usually end up feeling much better later in the day if I can't sleep but mornings are absolutely brutal. Even if I sleep well, I feel a bit groggy in early mornings; if I didn't sleep well I'm a complete zombie, but later in the day I will feel better, hopefully.
- szundi 4y agoSame here
- GeorgeTirebiter 4y agoThese sound like perhaps conditions that CPAP would help?
- Llamamoe 4y agoI'm personally disappointed by their lack of awareness of how weakly related subjective sleep quality is to polysomnographic variables.
