Description

Alex Washburn and seven co-workers wrote a 2025 study on how people with brain disease judge their own sleep. Wrist trackers give a hard record of sleep each night. Morning surveys give a felt sense of that night. The team asked if the two match, and if disease changes the match.

They paired tracker and survey data for just over a hundred people. The group held healthy adults and people with Alzheimer's or Lewy body disease. Across all, felt sleep tracked the prior night's record. But more time awake after falling asleep cut felt quality less in some disease groups. The link between felt and real sleep seems to shift with disease.
