New publication. Our first foray into 'Bedtime procrastination'. An area of growing importance, but in need of objective data. We used actigraphy to study adolescent sleep and procrastination

Friday:
4) Evaluation of an incentives-based, mhealth intervention for sleep extension in working adults with short sleep. (Ju Lynn Ong)

5) A 30 min mid-afternoon nap boosts sustained attention and memory encoding. (Andrew Dicom)

Do you use consumer sleep trackers for research? We examined how many nights of data are needed for reliable estimation of sleep.

For sleep duration: 3n/week or 5n/month, for sleep variability: 5n/week or 12n/month

Excited to go for in-person conference again @ESRS_Sleep. Even more so now the manuscript that goes with the poster is just accepted for pub. "Bedtime procrastination and Chronotype differentially predict adolescent sleep on school nights and non-school nights"

Look out for our latest meta-analysis and review about the cognitive benefits of afternoon naps... kudos to Ruth Leong for putting this together... https://t.co/OWpYwcN0gZ

I am looking for a postdoc to start this year or 2023. Candidate should have a PhD in neuroscience, machine learning or related fields. Topics are quite flexible (https://t.co/pgdR4erHUJ) and up for discussion. Appreciate RT.

We are still recruiting participants for our clinical trial (‘Twinkle’) which will look at sleep and a food supplement.

New paper: "Limited evidence for enhanced working memory performance and effort allocation in the face of loss versus gain incentives: A preregistered (non) replication"
Do we really work harder to avoid losses?

1/9 Paper is out https://t.co/qzSCPHFQPn

Here's some takeaways including new tidbits (good & bad!) since the preprint & even after the paper was accepted.

Large sample sizes are helpful for individual-level prediction. We have known that for quite some time, but the recent...

1/2 Don't forget to check out our epic 49-page reviewer response letter!

An interesting issue pointed out by the reviewers was that our QC (while standard) led to a sample less representative than the full ABCD sample.

Participants with higher quality data were more likely...

In this recent publication on multi-night at-home assessment of novel wearable technologies; we show the promising performance of Gen3 Oura ring and ascertain which age group and sex benefits more from the upgraded algorithms trained on diverse datasets https://t.co/a3VXLjrQXc

We hope this will be a game-changer for wearable sleep trackers and their use in high-quality longitudinal studies. It took a village to execute this n=58, 3-night at-home study with PSG during COVID-19 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️https://t.co/GjIVXgxDw2

How does sleep help the establishment of a knowledge structure and facilitate its transformation as new items replace old ones and other items are added? Check out this article from the talented Dr. Golkashani... https://t.co/8TKqFTKZKI
