Analyzing your sleep will let you see how your sleep schedule affects your quality of life and how your habits affect your sleep.
You’ll find out how your sleep patterns are affected by workouts, nutrition, or overworking, how much sleep your body needs, and the best time for you to go to bed. Which means you’ll be able to make changes to your lifestyle so you’ll wake up energized and ready for a productive day.
Several ways to track sleep include polysomnography, fitness trackers, and apps.
The scientific approach is called polysomnography. This test, conducted in a clinical setting, records electroencephalography, eye movements, myograms, respiratory airflow, electrocardiograms, and other body functions. Essentially, it gathers the complete picture of how your body works during sleep. Since polysomnography requires professional equipment, you can’t use it for everyday tracking, and it’s mainly used to diagnose sleep disorders like sleep apnea.
That is why a lot of developers are working on making sleep tracking accessible. Although these gadgets are not as reliable as polysomnography, research has shown that they are still quite accurate. Just keep in mind that you can’t diagnose serious sleep disorders with a sleep tracker.
If you have a fitness tracker, use that. Most of them, like Mi Band and Fitbit, track your sleep automatically if you wear the gadget to bed. But you don’t have to wear a fitness band all the time to track your sleep. There are many other gadgets you can use if you are uncomfortable wearing yours in bed or don’t own one.
If you choose to use a tracker or a sleep app, you’ll be able to see your data on Welltory graphs and analyze your sleep habits. You can also take measurements with Welltory in the mornings to see how your sleep affects your energy level, your ability to focus, and your well-being generally.
