The studies, which used data from Sleep Number®
smart beds and a Smart Sleeper Panel, provide valuable insights
that can potentially guide recommendations for better sleep habits
and improved health outcomes
Sleep Number’s research partners, the
University of Pittsburgh and the American Cancer Society, will also
present new studies in collaboration with Sleep Number
Today, Sleep Number Corporation (Nasdaq: SNBR), a sleep wellness
technology leader, announced it will present new research at SLEEP
2024 in Houston. Findings will show results of four studies
leveraging smart bed data collected in a real-world, home
environment, and the Smart Sleeper Panel, a cohort of more than
468,000 Sleep Number smart bed sleepers who’ve opted to participate
in sleep science research. These studies further demonstrate the
research capabilities of Sleep Number smart beds to understand the
impact of sleep on health and advance sleep science without an
in-lab sleep study. Sleep Number’s wellness technology platform,
used by global research institutions, plus its 26 billion hours’
worth of highly accurate sleep and biosignal data from millions of
smart sleepers could, in the future, revolutionize the way sleepers
screen for health risks at home. They can also simplify the way
healthcare providers detect and monitor sleep disorders.

“Sleep Number is continuously introducing data-driven approaches
for improved sleep and health care outcomes,” said Annie
Bloomquist, Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer,
Sleep Number. “Our smart bed ecosystem and one-of-a-kind research
capabilities can link our data into clinical practices. We
anticipate that our continued advancements in the field of sleep
research will revolutionize the way chronic sleep disorders and
other health conditions are identified, diagnosed and
monitored.”
Highlights of the new research include:
Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea associations through the
lens of a smart bed platform
This research aimed to examine the relationship between snoring,
sleep metrics, sleeper demographics and obstructive sleep apnea
(OSA). Researchers used Sleep Number smart bed data and responses
from an IRB-approved survey distributed to the brand’s Smart
Sleeper Panel.
The findings revealed a significant portion of people with sleep
apnea snore, and detailed sleep data can help identify the risk of
apnea more accurately among those snorers. Additionally, data from
Sleep Number smart beds, combined with sleepers’ demographic
information and snoring habits, can be used to screen for OSA risk
from home, creating a non-intrusive and accessible way to alert
individuals to possible health issues.
Influence of sleep regularity, chronotype, and sleep duration
on daytime sleepiness caused by sleep disorders
This study looked at how keeping a regular sleep schedule, the
total time spent sleeping and whether someone is an early bird or
night owl can affect the link between sleep disorders and daytime
sleepiness. The brand’s researchers coupled longitudinal Sleep
Number smart bed data with responses from a one-time survey of its
Smart Sleeper Panel.
The study found that daytime sleepiness is significantly linked
with untreated sleep disorders. How regular, early or long
individuals sleep doesn't change how sleepy they feel during the
day if they have a sleep disorder. However, for healthy sleepers,
going to sleep early and sleeping longer was linked to feeling more
alert during the day. This suggests that not only is treating sleep
disorders important for reducing daytime sleepiness, but for those
without sleep disorders, maintaining good sleep habits can also
make a big difference in how awake and alert they feel throughout
the day.
Is snoring associated with lower sleep quality? If yes, does
that association depend on treated or untreated sleep
apnea?
Snoring is a common sign of sleep apnea and is strongly linked
to daytime sleepiness and cardiovascular health. This research
aimed to examine the relationship between snoring and sleep quality
in sleepers with treated or untreated apnea. To do so, Sleep Number
used objective data collected from its smart beds and survey
responses from its Smart Sleeper Panel.
The research suggests that sleepers who snore—whether they are
getting treatment for apnea or not—tend to have slightly worse
sleep quality than healthy sleepers who don’t snore. And, sleep
quality decreases as snoring becomes severe enough to be
accompanied by diagnosed apnea. This could suggest that snoring may
be a marker for sleep problems, even if the individual doesn't have
a diagnosed sleep disorder.
Unobtrusive detection of heart-rate-dipping during sleep
based on force sensors in a smart bed
During sleep, one’s heart rate (HR) typically dips and goes up
again in a regular pattern; the absence of this pattern is linked
to a higher risk of mortality. Unobtrusive and longitudinal
monitoring of HR patterns could be valuable for early detection of
cardiovascular risk and to understand the health of sleepers with
apnea. In this study, Sleep Number researchers developed an
algorithm that estimates HR instantaneously about 92.6% of the time
during sleep, allowing them to characterize HR patterns using data
from a Sleep Number smart bed.
This study demonstrates a novel method for unobtrusive,
longitudinal and accurate monitoring of HR patterns during sleep
using a Sleep Number smart bed equipped with force sensors. And,
the development of an algorithm that estimates HR instantaneously
allows for the characterization of HR patterns, which is valuable
for the early detection of cardiovascular risk and intervention for
individuals at risk for cardiovascular issues.
"Sleep Number continues to be at the forefront of sleep
research, harnessing the power of our wellness technology to
uncover new links between sleep and overall health,” said Rajasi
Mills, Vice President, SleepIQ Health and Research, Sleep Number.
“We are excited about the possibilities of this research as we
pioneer new, connected sleep health and wellness solutions."
Sleep Number’s real-world, longitudinal and individualized
approach to sleep research is analogous to the company’s smart
beds, which are focused on meeting everyone’s unique needs. The
accuracy of Sleep Number’s data, from more than three billion sleep
sessions, provides healthcare professionals with invaluable
insights into individuals' sleep patterns, which could enable
enhanced treatment strategies and management of sleep-related
health conditions.
This research also further differentiates the Sleep Number smart
bed as a valid and reliable data collection platform – a key
advantage to securing new partnerships and large-scale research
globally.
Sleep Number’s research partners, the University of Pittsburgh
and the American Cancer Society, will also present new studies in
collaboration with Sleep Number, which leverage data from the
brand’s Smart Sleeper Panel.
