Others believe in armbands which could be useful during the day, too, by measuring all kinds of activities. Finally, on the other end of the spectrum are non-contact sleep sensor manufacturers, who are using their devices not only to give sleep measurements but sense temperature, humidity, and light conditions in the room and suggest adjustments for a better bedtime\u003C\u002Fstrong>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>How to choose, you ask?

You learn a lot about your habits and how they affect sleep quality. For example, what happens if you drink or eat anything before going to sleep? What if you exercise? And what about checking your social media newsfeed? It is different for everyone, and \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002F6-months-sleep-tracking-experiment-learnt\u002F\">thus optimizing sleep is absolutely not easy\u003C\u002Fa>. Not even for me, although I have been tracking my sleep pattern, stress level and other health parameters for more than two decades through various methods, even \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Fthe-one-year-excel-spreadsheet-experiment-that-changed-my-life\u002F\">in a thorough excel spreadsheet\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>And let’s not forget that the possibilities for sleep tracking are multiplying faster than the fans of Pokémon Go did recently. It is due to the fact that built-in health apps started to reshape the way we think about our phones – we are getting more and more into the direction of having smart healthcare assistants in our hands – and the market of healthcare wearables and sensors started to boom – around a \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.wareable.com\u002Fwearable-tech\u002F245-million-wearable-devices-sold-2019-1606\">hundred million\u003C\u002Fa> wearable units were purchased to measure health parameters in 2015, while it is predicted that 245 million wearable devices will be sold in 2019. As a consequence, a lot of people are puzzled what to choose for their needs. Some ask me about using simple apps for tracking sleep while their phone is next to them. Others want to know which sensor to use for detailed tracking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Thus, I decided to conduct a week-long experiment where I sleep with a different method of tracking every night, so you do not have to test every one of them and my advices might help you find the way out of the jungle of sleep trackers.

The Urbandroid Team behind developing the app says that your phone should be about 30-40 cm away from you, not in close contact. However, it is different when your phone is able to use the \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fsonar.urbandroid.org\u002F\">Sonar\u003C\u002Fa>; which utilizes the speaker and microphone available in every smartphone to produce ultrasonic signals. It is mind-blowing that Sleep as Android is able to detect the small discrepancies between emitted and received signals created by movements during sleep. Unfortunately, not every phone is able to use it. So you might want to check out the placement tricks \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fsleep.urbandroid.org\u002Fdocumentation\u002Fcore\u002Fsleep-tracking\u002F#phone-placement\">here\u003C\u002Fa> depending on the capabilities of your smartphone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Concerning the sleep tracking procedure, it is quite comfortable that using an app does not require any preparation. I just opened it, decided when to wake up and put it on my night table. Surprisingly, it measured my sleep cycles quite accurately, and as my phone is using the Sonar, it was in line with how I felt in the morning. Cheap, fast and simple method, although the biggest disadvantage was the lack of accurate smart alarm. Without the sensors, it is almost impossible for the app to find the best time when it should wake me up. It could not. \u003Cstrong>Grade: B+\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>\u003Cbr>For the second night, I tried the sleep sensor alone – with even less success\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cfigure class=\"alignright\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"353\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F03\u002Fscreenshot_2017-03-16-10-38-09-353x512.png\" alt=\"Fitbit Surge - Sleep Tracking\" class=\"wp-image-15263\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F03\u002Fscreenshot_2017-03-16-10-38-09-353x512.png 353w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F03\u002Fscreenshot_2017-03-16-10-38-09-172x250.png 172w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F03\u002Fscreenshot_2017-03-16-10-38-09-768x1115.png 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F03\u002Fscreenshot_2017-03-16-10-38-09.png 599w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 353px) 100vw, 353px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Although generally \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Ffitbit-helped-change-lifestyle-great-fitbit-surge-review\u002F\">I did not recommend the Fitbit Surge for sleep tracking in my review\u003C\u002Fa>, I decided to give it another chance and enlisted it as a participant in my week-long sleep tracking test.

For this task, I use the Pebble Time because it is supported by the app and its battery time is amazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The tracker, developed in collaboration with researchers at Stanford University, measures your sleep, when you go to bed, displays sleep, deep-sleep, and the times when you fall asleep and wake up. Pebble Time is small, easy-to-use and very useful. It has hundreds of other different applications as well. Late November 2016, \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fventurebeat.com\u002F2016\u002F11\u002F30\u002Ffitbit-is-buying-pebble-for-34-40-million\u002F\">Fitbit has acquired\u003C\u002Fa> Pebble, and I was sorry to hear it will stop developing the product. Moreover, since the transaction happened, my tracker unpairs with my phone randomly which is very disturbing. Still, the app measured detailed sleep quality and the Pebble could wake me up at the best possible time in the morning. Pure joy as my day started the best way possible. \u003Cstrong>Grade: A+\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> \u003C\u002Fh1>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>How does a sensor and its own app function as a combo for detailed sleep tracking?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For this experiment, I chose the Viatom O2 sensor and its accompanying app. I recently reviewed the Viatom O2 Sleep Monitor; and I found it quite useful for measuring heart rate and blood oxygen levels. It is especially useful for people with sleep apnea and snoring; as it buzzes gently if their blood oxygen level is too low during the night, and they should switch their sleeping positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>So, I put on the smartwatch-like device and connected it to a sensor, which is a ring-like soft, comfortable and small device. Setting it up was not super easy but I managed to do it. Its clear advantage is that the O2 is able to see blood oxygen saturation which is really useful when diagnosing sleep apnea. Its biggest disadvantage is that there is no smart alarm. I could not use it for permanent sleep tracking, although checking my pulse and oxygen saturation once in a while is definitely useful. \u003Cstrong>Grade: B \u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cfigure class=\"alignleft\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"384\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F03\u002Fimg_5879-384x512.jpg\" alt=\"Viatom O2 - Sleep Tracking\" class=\"wp-image-15243\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F03\u002Fimg_5879-384x512.jpg 384w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F03\u002Fimg_5879-188x250.jpg 188w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F03\u002Fimg_5879-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F03\u002Fimg_5879.jpg 653w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cfigure class=\"alignleft\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"288\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F03\u002FScreenshot_2017-03-14-14-35-16-1-288x512.png\" alt=\"Viatom O2 - Sleep Tracking\" class=\"wp-image-15265\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F03\u002FScreenshot_2017-03-14-14-35-16-1-288x512.png 288w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F03\u002FScreenshot_2017-03-14-14-35-16-1-141x250.png 141w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F03\u002FScreenshot_2017-03-14-14-35-16-1-768x1365.png 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F03\u002FScreenshot_2017-03-14-14-35-16-1.png 489w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> \u003C\u002Fh1>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> \u003C\u002Fh1>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> \u003C\u002Fh1>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> \u003C\u002Fh1>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> \u003C\u002Fh1>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> \u003C\u002Fh1>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"> \u003C\u002Fh1>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>\u003Cbr>Going wild: what happened when I used a multi-sensor?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Viatom has a \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fmedicalfuturist.com\u002Ffirst-medical-tricorder-viatom-checkme-pro-review\u002F\">Checkme Pro sensor which I recently reviewed in details\u003C\u002Fa>. It is a one huge leap towards the all-mighty medical tricorder. It functions as a health tracker (just like a wearable sensor), it records your electrocardiogram (electrophysiology of your heart), measures your blood oxygen saturation, the number of steps you take a day, serves as a thermometer, a blood pressure tracker, sleep monitor and a reminder. It’s quite an all-in-one package. So, I decided to test its sleep tracking abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>I put the device into a big pocket that had to be strapped to my forearm. I attached a pulseoxymeter sensor to the device and put my index finger into it, then I went to sleep. Its advantage is clearly the chance to measure vital signs in details. It might be even more accurate about oxygen saturation than the O2 Sleep Monitor. Its clear weakness is that it has to be fully charged before going to bed. Also, you have to go to bed with a huge device turning you into an unearthly person having a cyborg-arm.
