Sleep Stage Characteristics of Long and Short Sleepers
Abstract
The possibility of different sleep stage characteristics being associated with different sleep lengths was explored by comparing two groups of high school seniors, who characteristically slept 6½ hours or less or who slept 8½ hours or more, with an age-matched control group not selected on the basis of sleep length. All-night electroencephalography was used to examine the sleep stage characteristics of these groups. Compared with the unselected age-matched group, the short sleepers showed no significant diminution in their stage 4 (deep) or rapid eye movement (dream) sleep. The long sleepers were observed to obtain significantly more rapid eye movement sleep than did the other groups.

Short habitual sleep duration in population-based studies is related to adverse health outcomes (obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neuropsychiatric symptoms, pain) and mortality risk.
“There is ample evidence that a short habitual sleep duration in population-based studies is related to adverse health outcomes (i.e., obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neuropsychiatric symptoms, pain) as well as mortality risk”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
