TraitModerate for wearable-estimated REM in a European-ancestry discovery cohort with diverse-cohort replication; no sleep-lab confirmation
Wearable-estimated REM sleep tendency (MEIS1)
Wearable-estimated REM sleep tendency (MEIS1) is a genetic trait Biome reports in its sleep & chronotype panel: Two large wrist-device studies link each T copy to a few fewer minutes of estimated REM sleep per night. No sleep-lab study has tested this result, and a tracker is a better guide to your actual sleep.
