Using data from 765,000 survey respondents in the United States from 2002 to 2011, coupled with
nighttime temperature data, the researchers found that higher nighttime temperatures are associated with self - reported sleep problems, with the largest effects seen during summer and among lower - income and elderly subjects (who may not have easy access to air conditioning).
The researchers studied these CDC reports of inadequate sleep levels from 765,000 individuals across the country alongside city - level
nighttime temperature data from 2002 to 2011.
Not exact matches
Hot nights make for bad sleep, according to a study combining responses to a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sleep survey of 765,000 U.S. residents from 2002 to 2011 with
data on
nighttime temperatures during that period.
The research used historical
data — mainly from North American, Europe and East Asia — and an ensemble of climate models to analyze the past and future risk of various extreme hot, wet and dry events, including the highest daytime and
nighttime temperatures, mildest low
temperatures, wettest days, and longest dry spells.
These issues, which are either not recognized at all in the assessments or are understated, include: - the identification of a warm bias in
nighttime minimum
temperatures - poor siting of the instrumentation to measure
temperatures - the influence of trends in surface air water vapor content on
temperature trends - the quantification of uncertainties in the homogenization of surface
temperature data, and the influence of land use / land cover change on surface
temperature trends.
NOAA Coral Reef Watch (CRW) thermal stress products used in this study were based on
nighttime - only Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sea surface
temperature (SST)
data from sensors aboard operational NOAA Polar - Orbiting Environmental Satellites (POES), produced in near - real - time at 0.5 - degree (50 - km) spatial resolution.
But I've looked at plenty of
data, so I know that in fact
nighttime temperatures have gone up faster than daytime
temperatures.
