Description

Linying Ji and co-authors link sleep patterns to thinking skills in older adults, in a 2024 study. Sleep was tracked with a wrist device for about a week. The team looked at both average sleep and how much sleep varied night to night. Most past work used averages alone.

The group drew on 81 adults aged 46 to 81, most of them women. Thinking was scored with a standard test. Sleep measures covered total time, wake time after falling asleep, sleep timing, and naps. The models accounted for age, race, sex, reading scores, and income status. Early results tied more variable sleep timing to thinking scores. The study shows that night-to-night swings may matter as much as averages.
