Do Moon Phases Affect Our Sleep Patterns
Can you see a correlation with the phases of the moon? Are we still connected from an evolutionary perspective? What do you think the data shows? You can see singularities on New Years and Super Bowl night for sure, but moon phases have little to do with them!
The best of 2020 to all our friends and colleagues
The best of 2020 to all our friends and colleagues from all of us at Fullpower.com. May 2020 be even more prosperous than 2019!
The youngest, and their parents, lose the most sleep during the holidays
We analyzed Sleeptracker data for the last several years. For accuracy, we are always reminded that www.fullpower.com is operating polysomnography labs using Philips/Respironics Alice 6 equipment continuously since 2014.
The data shows the profound effect that the holidays have on the younger ones and their parents!
How Thanksgiving affects our sleep and activity
We looked at sleep and activity data for several years, looking at both Sleeptracker® and MotionX® activity information. The data clearly shows similar patterns from year to year. Thanksgiving and the Holidays, in general, change our sleep and activity levels significantly. Here is an article form the New York Time that discusses some of this impact:

The longer we are awake during the day, the higher our heart rate throughout the night
We know that heart rate throughout the night is a sign-post of health and recovery. So we asked, “is it true that the more we sleep, the lower the average heart rate is throughout the night?”
The data shows that this is not necessarily the case, and that includes our weekly work schedules and weekend opportunity to sleep in.
For example, on average, we spend the most wake-time on Fridays, and as the graph shows, our average heart rates are higher on Friday nights. During the corresponding Saturday mornings, we tend to sleep in and our sleep durations end up longer, yet our heart rates throughout the night are higher.
One possible explanation is an increase in REM sleep when the heart rate is generally elevated. Of course, “lifestyle” (alcohol and larger / later meals) also contribute to elevated heart rates measured on Friday and Saturday nights.
Daylight Saving Time (DST) creates a significant disruption in sleep schedules
For the last four years, Sleeptracker AI data has recorded significant disruption in sleep patterns during the fall when we wind the clock back, losing an hour of daylight. In comparison, the state of Arizona does not change its time for Daylight Saving Time. As a result, their data does not show a disruption.
The following link points to a recent discussion on “CBS This Morning” regarding the potential impacts of fall sleep disruption. youtu.be/Bk8zqWKeLy0
