The variables taken into account were individual, seasonal, and time-varying confounders which were controlled for, higher temperature shortens sleep predominantly through the delayed start, increasing the likelihood of inadequate sleep or sleep loss. The report claimed that the temperature effects on sleep loss are significantly more significant among low-income and … Continue reading Study Finds Global Warming Can Spur Sleep Loss
