How did the researchers interpret the results?
The researchers say it is possible to predict an individual’s ability to maintain sleep despite external noise and that those with higher spindle rates are more resistant to sounds during sleep. They also speculate that this finding could explain an association found in previous studies between spindle rate and people’s learning potential. They say that if spindles shield sleep from disruption they may allow certain brain processes to be consolidated. The data, they say, raises questions as to whether treatments could be developed that enhance spindle rates and therefore help to protect sleep.
