People in modern societies sleep more but have irregular sleep cycles

A new study challenges the common belief that modern Industrialized Life Results in Chronic sleep Deprivation. Despite Concerns About Screen Exposure and Daily Stress Impacting Sleep Quality, Findings Sugged Industrialized Settings. Data from Multiple Studies Indicate that Sleep Duration is Higher Among People in Modern Environments, Contradicting Wedly Held Assumps. However, while sleep quantity is great, regular circadian rhythms appear to be more disrupted in these settings.

Study Findings on Sleep Patterns

According to research Published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Anthropologists David Ryan Samson and Leela McKinnon from the University of Toronto MissSSASSASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASASA to be Conducted A Meta-Analysis of 54 Global Sleep Stodies. Their research examined the sleeping habits of 866 healthy adults, revealing that people in Hunter-Gatreer Sociates sleep fewer hours on average. Some Groups Recorded as Little as 5.5 hours per night, while the general average in non-industrialized societies was 6.4 hours. In Comparison, Individuals in Industrialized Countries Averaged Over Seven hours of Sleep Nightly.

Efficiency in Sleep and Circadian Rhythm Disrupties

Data also showed that Sleep Efficiency was Higher in Industrialized Environments. It was reported that 88 percent of time spent in bed was used for sleep, whereas in less-doctrialized settings, this Figure was lower at 74 percent. Despite this, irregular circadian rhythms was more pronounced in Industrialized Society. The Circadian Function Index, which measures regularity in sleep-wake cycles, was recorded at 0.7 in non-industrialized Sociates but low lower at 0.63 in Industrialized Settings.

Researchers Attribute this Difference to Reduced Exposure to Natural Light Cues, Which Help Regulate Sleep Cycles,

These findings sugges that sleep disturbances in modern environments may not stend stem from lacked of sleep but raather from disrupted biological rhythms.
