A systematic review of sleep data from more than 100,000 people in the United Kingdom has revealed 16 distinct ways we snooze. The clusters could one day allow experts to better diagnose insomnia and preinsomnia in individuals.
The research is based on data from smart wristbands, used by the United Kingdom Biobank to determine our patterns of wakefulness and sleep. This was done by measuring the arm movements and twitches of participants over the course of several days.
Overall, the clusters are split into five broad categories . Those that fall in the first category generally experience insomnia with long sleep duration and 'midawake', which is when you wake up in the middle of the night. Clusters 2 to 4 are further split into a's and b's. 2a, for instance, is a cluster of those who show irregular sleep schedules, probably as an indication of shift work.3a is a cluster of those who experience insomnia with normal sleep duration, and 4a includes those who suffer from insomnia with short sleep duration.To make things more complicated, the clusters 3b and 4b are further split into eight subcategories of fragmented sleep.
