This study examines the intersection of academic pressure and sleep within Taiwanese families, revealing how cultural norms and expectations shape sleep practices. Through interviews and two-week diaries from eleven families, we found that academic ...

With sleep deprivation being a public health concern, sleep-monitoring technology, mainly through consumer-grade wearables, has shown value among users to better understand their most fundamental measure of health. Unfortunately, utilizing wearable ...

This paper aims to explore the relationship between nighttime stress management and sleep staging based on photoelectric volume pulse wave (PPG) technology, and to analyze its application potential in improving individual sleep quality and mental health. ...

Researchers have established that quality sleep is important for cognitive functions. Now that consumer-grade wearables can provide accurate measurements of sleep quality, we should be able to inform individuals about how their sleep impacts cognitive ...

Lucid dreaming, characterized by an awareness of being in a dream, offers individuals the ability to control dream content, which leads to various benefits such as entertainment, improved mental well-being, reduced concurrent nightmares, skills ...

Sleep behavior significantly impacts health and acts as an indicator of physical and mental well-being. Monitoring and predicting sleep behavior with ubiquitous sensors may therefore assist in both sleep management and tracking of related health ...

The importance of sleep in the life of a human being to function in nowadays society is known from a large number of studies. A standard method for sleep analysis is polysomnography (PSG), which uses multiple sensors to measure and analyze ...

The objective of this research was to test, analyze, and visualize the effects of sleep deprivation and aging on performance. The present study aimed to determine how age affects the impact of sleep deprivation on the spatial learning capabilities of ...

This study aimed to test the efficacy of a mint‐flavored mouthwash when it is used at bedtime for subsequent sleep in a field study setting, using a wristwatch‐type heart rate (HR) monitoring devise. Using a within‐subject experimental design, ...

Sleep plays a paramount role in maintaining healthy bodily functioning. Yet, poor sleep is an increasingly prevalent global health concern. Most current sleep technology tracks sleep, but how to design for promoting sleep is relatively underexplored. We ...

Sleep is important for humans, and past research has considered methods of improving sleep through technologies such as virtual reality (VR). However, there has been limited research on how such VR technology may affect the experiential and practical ...

This paper investigates how a smartphone-controlled olfactory wearable might improve memory recall. We conducted a within-subjects experiment with 32 participants using the device and without (control). In the experimental condition, bursts of odor were ...

The availability of commercial wearable trackers equipped with features to monitor sleep duration and quality has enabled more useful sleep health monitoring applications and analyses. However, much research has reported the challenge of long-term user ...

Sleep disorders are one of the causes that impair our quality of life, and adjustment of autonomic nervous activity can improve the sleep quality. The authors examined the effects on the sleep quality with adjustment of autonomic nervous activity by ...

Sleep is the natural state of relaxation for human being. Sleep quality is an essential yet frequently neglected aspect of sleep in general. Sleep quality is essential because it allows the body to restore itself and prepare for the next day. The ...

With growing interest in how technology can make sense of our body and bodily experiences, this work looks at how these experiences are communicated through and with the help of technology. We present the ways in which knowledge about sleep, and how to ...

In the process of detection and diagnosis of sleep apnea, we find multiple complex systems that perform the evaluation of the characteristic parameters of this pathology, such as heart rate monitoring, measurement of breathing rate, the presence of ...

Daily activities affect mental health. One of the most used scales is "subjective well-being (SWB)", which is a self-reported questionnaire. This study aimed to predict SWBs using step count, heart rate and sleep duration data from sensors instead ...

Overuse of mobile phones pre-sleep is one of the main factors that cause sleep disorders. Although medical research proves that excessive blue light from the smartphone leads to a decrease in sleepiness, the widespread use of cell phones makes it ...

Earables are an emerging sensory platform. In its realm, many past publications looked into sleep-related parameters such as sleep stages. However, none questioned their comfort and wearability during sleep. In our paper, we conducted a study with ...
