Sleep age, a projected age that correlates to your health based on sleep quality, could predict your mortality, scientists say.<\/p>\n

For instance, if you analyze the sleep characteristics of dozens of 55-year-olds and average them out, you’ll have an idea of what sleep looks like at that age. For instance, someone who’s 55 and sleeps soundly through the night with good quality REM cycles<\/a> could, theoretically, have a sleep age of 45.<\/p>\n

For a new study in npj Digital Medicine<\/a><\/em>, Emmanuel Mignot, professor in sleep medicine at Stanford University Medicine, and his colleagues analyzed some 12,000 studies, each of which focused on an individual, that reported characteristics of their sleep\u2014such as chin and leg movement, breathing<\/a>, and heartbeat. Their goal was to develop a system that assigns one’s sleep age<\/a> and, using machine learning, identify the variations in sleep most closely linked to mortality.<\/p>\n

Generally speaking, people sleep differently at different ages, with changes in sleep quality being one of the first and most well-documented signs of aging and poor health. The good news: Sleep age isn’t set in stone. We have the power to improve it.<\/p>\n

Here, Mignot talks about why sleep age is important, how it’s calculated, and what the study’s findings imply about our health:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
