While researchers have made great strides in understanding the basic mechanisms of sleep and what happens when we don’t get enough, it’s been much more challenging to translate this knowledge into improvements in human sleep and health. Currently, approximately one-third of Americans complain about sleep issues, and the same number still get less than the recommended seven hours of sleep each night.

Scientists in SRI’s Human Sleep Research Program recognized early on that wearable consumer technologies could provide the “missing link” to translate the wealth of scientific knowledge about sleep into better sleep in the real world. Our team became one of the first laboratories in the world to begin studying whether consumer sleep technologies can accurately, consistently and reliably capture sleep metrics — such as total time asleep, as well as quality and quantity of sleep.
