There is a growing interest in monitoring the sleep of elite athletes.
A team of researchers at Waseda University in Tokyo have developed a robot pillow that monitors the sleep of patients and helps them by touching the face or neck whenever it detects irregularities in the sleep cycle.
Stickgold's group monitored the sleep patterns of 14 student volunteers on the night after they learned the perceptual discrimination task--making sure each got 8 hours of sleep.
To measure how much sleep truck drivers get during a typical week, a team led by Merrill Mitler of the Scripps Clinic and Research Institute in La Jolla, California, monitored the sleep patterns of 80 drivers for 5 days.
We monitored the sleep diary for severe side-effects in order to obtain information about potential serious adverse events if needed.
At TechCrunch Disrupt SF 2013 this past week, a Warsaw-based startup called IQ Intelclinic was showing off an intelligent sleeping mask that uses sensors to monitor the wearers' sleep cycles, including REM and non-REM sleep, in order to determine if you're getting quality Zzz's at night.
The device, which costs $60, is a padded wristband that uses sensors to monitor the wearer's sleep cycles and then chooses the best time to awaken the sleeper.
Jawbone and fuseproject, both based in San Francisco, collaborated on the development of the UP wristband, which uses tiny motion sensors to monitor the wearer's sleep, diet and exercise.
Therefore, the aim of the present study was to longitudinally monitor the development of sleep quality in nurses, starting from the last semester at university, with three subsequent follow-ups once the nurses had entered working life.
