Admin’s Note

This research has the potential to revolutionize the diagnosis of sleep disorders. If a method for objectively measuring sleep quality can be established, more people will be able to receive appropriate treatment. This is particularly good news for those struggling with chronic sleep deprivation. I look forward to seeing how the findings of this research will be put into practice. I hope to see new approaches aimed at improving sleep quality become more widespread.
