Wearable Sleep Monitors

The book reveals that while wearable sleep monitors offer potentially valuable information, their accuracy can vary. It emphasizes the importance of understanding both the benefits and limitations of using sleep trackers.

The book synthesizes findings from research studies, comparing consumer sleep trackers against clinical gold standards like polysomnography (PSG). Readers will gain an understanding of how sleep data can be used to identify potential sleep problems and improve sleep hygiene.

Beginning with the fundamentals of sleep science, Wearable Sleep Monitors progresses through the technologies used in wearables, evaluations of their accuracy, and the ethical considerations of sleep data privacy. This approach allows healthcare professionals, researchers, and interested consumers to make informed decisions about using sleep trackers and interpreting their data.
