Joint Consensus Statement of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and Sleep Research Society on the Recommended Amount of Sleep for a Healthy Adult: Methodology and Discussion
Open accessAbstract
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and Sleep Research Society recently released a Consensus Statement regarding the recommended amount of sleep to promote optimal health in adults. This paper describes the methodology, background literature, voting process, and voting results for the consensus statement. In addition, we address important assumptions and challenges encountered during the consensus process. Finally, we outline future directions that will advance our understanding of sleep need and place sleep duration in the broader context of sleep health.

“Epidemiological studies of a very large representative sample of Americans also supported the conclusion that adults aged 18 to 60 years had shorter sleep durations than those younger and older.50,59”

- Partly supportedcites [50] Basner M, Fomberstein KM, Razavi FM, et al. American time use survey: sleep time and its relationship to waking activities. Sleep 2007;30:1085–95. sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
The Results report a U-shaped relationship for weekday sleep, with the shortest average duration at ages 45–54 and longer durations at lower and higher ages. The Discussion identifies a representative sample of 47,731 respondents. The paper does not establish the precise 18–60 comparison in the claim, and its weekday finding does not describe sleep across all days. (LLM, conf=0.83)

The Results (Duration and Timing of Sleep—Age; page not provided) report that respondents aged 35–64 slept the least and had increased odds of short sleep compared with younger and older respondents. The representative sample supports the general age pattern, but the paper does not identify ages 18–60 as the shorter-sleep group; its reported age brackets differ. (LLM, conf=0.87)

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
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.
