Description
Huitong Ding and co-authors link ring-measured sleep to thinking scores in older adults. Their 2025 study enrolls seventy-five people from a Boston aging research cohort, who wore a sleep ring at home over many nights across two-week spans each quarter.
The ring logged measures such as unstable light sleep and the share of the night spent with very low blood oxygen. Eleven sleep measures tied to at least one part of a standard thinking test. The low-oxygen share stood out: it tracked with a lower total score and with weaker naming, recall, and abstraction. The authors read sleep as a changeable lever for brain health, while calling for larger studies to confirm the links.
