With the light dim, a cup of tea in hand, Chris had to sit on the bed and she was ready to pick up the book from her bedside table. She always slept lightly, but the last few weeks have been very difficult. He left the electronics in favor of some shots and deliberately set the habit of sleeping, but his night patterns were worse than ever - at least according to his gold tracker.
Every morning, after the sleep tracker on his wrist was synchronized with the app on his smartphone, Chris analyzed the data. The results were discouraging. Last night, for example, statistics showed he had seven hours of sleep, but only four of them had "comfortable sleep."
On the one hand, the overload of data had begun to wear Chris down. On the other hand, she has increased her awareness of her sleep patterns to the point that she is working hard to improve them.
Unusable technologies, such as Chris's sleep tracker, rely on a concept known as actography, which measures only one variable: in this case, movement during sleep. A single sensor called an accelerometer (or fitness tracker) records the frequency, speed, and direction of your movements and then graphs the data to define light and deep sleep periods.
While all of this feedback on sleep patterns may motivate you to be more mindful of your sleep routines, and may even motivate you to hit the grass already, the statistics themselves may not be so accurate. Are Studies have shown that wearing fitness trackers underestimates and exaggerates the amount of time you sleep - sometimes for an hour or more. And if the tech you wear claims to track your sleep patterns, you'll want to be a little more skeptical. Some people claim that the only way to truly determine sleep patterns is to measure brain waves using an electroencephalography (EEG) test. In addition, fitness trackers have not yet been able to detect sleep-related problems, such as sleep apnea, when a person stops breathing during sleep.
In fact, all of these figures can help you boost your sleep patterns - to the point where your once welcoming clothing keeps you awake at night. If you're bothering with statistics that show you slept half a dozen times during the night and even woke up for a while, it's no use in any of your 40 parts. Is picking up In fact, normal sleep patterns include waking up all night and getting a good night's sleep.
Finally, the effects of wearable technology on sleep can be washed away. You will be more familiar with your sleep patterns, but you will probably not be able to sleep more than before.
