SANTA CRUZ, Calif., Oct. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Fullpower-AI^®, in collaboration with Stanford University and UCSF, is proud to announce the results of a landmark study presented at the recent European Sleep Conference in Seville, Spain. This study, leveraging the Sleeptracker-AI^® platform, represents the largest-ever population-based assessment of sleep duration and architecture, analyzing over 7 million nights of sleep data.

Key Findings are:

Sleep Architecture by Gender and Presence or Absence of Sleep Apnea

Sleep Duration: The study reveals a U-shaped distribution of sleep duration across age groups, with middle-aged adults sleeping less than both younger and older adults.
Deep Sleep and REM Sleep: Deep and REM sleep percentages decline with age. Notably, individuals with sleep apnea (AHI > 5) experience significantly reduced deep sleep across all age groups.

Age-Specific Insights:

20-25-Year-Olds: Average sleep time is 431 minutes, with 15.9% deep sleep and 26% REM sleep.
0-55-Year-Olds: Average sleep time is 413 minutes, with 14.3% deep sleep and 25.7% REM sleep.
80-85-Year-Olds: Average sleep time is 420 minutes, with 13.1% deep sleep and 22.9% REM sleep.

"This study provides crucial baseline data for understanding sleep patterns across the lifespan and the impact of sleep disorders," said Philippe Kahn, Founder and CEO of Fullpower-AI^®. "It underscores the importance of the 7-hour sleep recommendation and highlights how conditions like sleep apnea can significantly impact sleep quality."

The scale and depth of this research mark a significant advancement in sleep science. These findings may shape future research and clinical practice in sleep medicine.
