Honored to chair the symposium “Beyond the Lab – The Potential and Applications of Consumer-Grade Wearables in Sleep Research” at #DGSM2025 (Nov 27–29, Hannover). We discussed how modern wearables can advance (and sometimes mislead) sleep science: • Pavlos Topalidis – 8

Honored to give the keynote in Montréal at the Mini-Retreat on Wearable Technologies 2025. Topic: “Sleep Beyond the Lab – Wearables & the Future of Digital Sleep Medicine.” HRV wearables + AI + digital CBT-I 🌙📡 @sleep2app @dept_psych_sbg

Sleep isn’t just spindles + slow waves. A new study by us (Ameen et al.) shows the aperiodic brain signal can track transitions between sleep stages in real time — even in intracranial EEG. Big implications for sleep science. 🔗 https://t.co/CroG4wOacr @sleep2app @dept_psych_sbg

🧠New study: Hachenberger et al. (2025) analyzed ECG data from 178 people (á 15 nights) with sleep² algorithms — revealing specific sleep-stages linked to stress, mood & cognition. Wearables+AI= new window into mental health. 👉 https://t.co/xgLzzY6ysF @dept_psych_sbg @sleep2app

New study out! 💤 Digital CBT-I + H10 sleep tracking in natural settings. In our 10-week field study, insomnia dropped from 92 % → 67 %, with better sleep, mood & QoL (N= 95). Unguided app-based therapy (@Sleep2_App_2) at home works. @dept_psych_sbg 🔗

New study out! 💤 Shift workers’ sleep isn’t just about schedules; it’s shaped by psychological factors like anxiety, depression & beliefs about sleep. Our findings pave the way for new, shift work–specific online therapy for insomnia. 🔗 https://t.co/TVOGFkthnO @dept_psych_sbg

🧠 Our new paper is out in Psychoneuroendocrinology! Fetal #DHEA measured from newborn hair predicts early language development — a promising new biomarker for neurodevelopment 🍼 👉 Read here: https://t.co/dgHodTQWlD #EarlyDevelopment #Neuroendocrinology @dept_psych_sbg

Excited to share our new paper in Nature and Science of Sleep! 📄 A CBT-I based app + ECG sleep tracking improved insomnia symptoms, sleep quality & mental health in a 6-week pilot study. 👉 Open access: https://t.co/aA0xn5VkKv @sleep2app @dept_psych_sbg @TpPavlos @EstherEigl

💤 Schlaf – das unterschätzte Superfood für Körper & Geist Im Gespräch mit carpe diem erkläre ich, wie Schlaf unser Gedächtnis, unsere Emotionen und unsere Gesundheit beeinflusst – und was wir tun können, um besser zu schlafen. 🎧 Reinhören? https://t.co/qEYggTtVPI @sleep2app

Honored to speak today at the Dept. of General Psychiatry & Psychotherapy, University of Tübingen. My talk: “From Sleep Lab to App: Sleep as a Key to Mental Health – Validly Measured, Digitally Optimized” Here with Steffen Gais. @dept_psych_sbg @sleep2app #sleep

💤 New Publication Alert! Our latest study in Clocks & Sleep reveals that tailored CBT significantly improves sleep quality for shift workers compared to standard approaches. Dive into the findings here: https://t.co/ss8nVjAZHB ShiftWork #CBT #Insomnia @dept_psych_sbg @sleep2app

🧠 New study in Current Biology! Our brain keeps learning—even during sleep. We show that statistical learning continues into non-REM sleep, bridging wake and sleep states. Read more here: https://t.co/7GZNQadB3X @TpPavlos @nweisz2 @dept_psych_sbg @CurrentBiology

One of the main features of pandemic policy was the mass testing of healthy individuals without cause. I spoke to Stanford professor John Ioannidis about the usefulness of this approach. According to Ioannidis, it "ended up being misused and did cost billions of dollars."

Prof. Ioannidis: "Both I and every member of my family were attacked in ways I could never have imagined.[including death threats] When we needed them most, the best epidemiologists just stepped down. Most of the people who dictated the narratives had no clue about

🧪Testosterone, crucial for muscle mass, bone density & libido, peaks during REM! Lack of REM sleep? 📉 Testosterone levels. Prioritize sleep for muscle and sexual health! #HormoneHealth #SleepScience https://t.co/4A9Vx4wVhO

Die Kommentare zu Ioannidis in deutschen Medien sind ein markantes Beispiel für den Niedergang des (Wissenschafts)Journalismus in Deutschland. Er gehörte zu der Gruppe der systematisch diskreditierten Wissenschaftler . . . .

Celebrating 🥳 the World Sleep Day 2025 with a Keynote at the Canadian Sleep Congress (CSS) in Montreal. I gave a talk on the exciting topic of AI and Wearables in Sleep Research and Sleep Medicine.

NEW SLEEP: How an app could relieve the burden on sleep labs (Austrian Broadcasting Corporation, ORF) In the future, sleep² - a special sleep app on a smartphone - should make a visit to a sleep laboratory unnecessary in the event of sleep problems. The aim of the recently
