The effects of seasons and weather on sleep patterns measured through longitudinal multimodal sensing

Abstract Previous studies of seasonal effects on sleep have yielded unclear results, likely due to methodological differences and limitations in data size and/or quality. We measured the sleep habits of 216 individuals across the U.S. over four seasons for slightly over a year using objective, conti...
