Do you use anything to track your sleep?

[PrettyPriya]

Has anyone used something to track their sleep? I haven't ever tried it and wondered if it was worth bothering with.

Yes! I use a smart device to track my sleep patterns.

No way! Last thing that tracked me I reported to the authorities.

Other/Results

[Cynicaldreamer]

Yeah, my fitbit tracks my sleep patterns by default (I bought the watch to monitor my workouts and steps; the sleep feature is just an added bonus)

I really don't pay much mind to the sleeping app, but it seems accurate. It even accounts for if I wake up in the middle of the night, to say, use the bathroom, then return to sleep!

[musicbrain5]

I could do that if I wanted to, but I honestly don’t need technology strapped to me 24/7, tracking every moment of my life. Too invasive, in my opinion.

[PrettyPriya]

I am afraid of it telling me I suck at sleeping. 😂

[musicbrain5]

I have an Apple Watch, and really all it’s going to do it tell you your average heart rate through the night. If you really want something to estimate when you go through REM and deep sleep cycles, and when you wake during the night, I would suggest Fitbit. I used to track my sleep patterns with a Fitbit.

I wear a CPAP machine that tracks my sleep. It's supposed to help me sleep more but it doesn't. I get about 4 hours a night

[PrettyPriya]

Yikes, that is less than me. I thought I was bad.

[20yearsolder]

I've tried melatonin, sleeping pills, this stupid ass CPAP machine. It don't work. I'm ready to call Michael Jackson's doctor and get some propofol

[PrettyPriya]

I have a friend that has done the melatonin. He swears it works, but I have not tried it.

[20yearsolder]

Give it a try, your body produces it naturally. It may help you. Unfortunately it did nothing for me

[PrettyPriya]

Thanks! I will give it a shot. Have a great weekend!

[20yearsolder]

I have about another 6 hours of work and then the weekend starts. Have a great weekend yourself

[Th3ft]

I haven’t tried it necessarily but my watch does track me. It works great! My ex also used it to track her sleep.

[PrettyPriya]

Did it work?

[Th3ft]

Yeah it works great! I mean the newer the watch the better it tracks your sleep.

[PrettyPriya]

That is cool. My Apple Watch never makes it through 24 hours. Have one of those new ones pictured above on its way and supposed to last days on a charge. Figured I'd try out the sleep tracking finally.

[Th3ft]

Oh yeah you need a good one thst can last the night but if it doesn’t take too long to charge you could charge it while you are getting ready for bed and just reduce it every 12 hours or so.

[PrettyPriya]

I ordered one of those Apple Watch ultra things that is supposed to last 3 days. Downside is it is huge and my wrists are small. Oh well. I like the way it looked. I have chunky jewelry as it is.

[Th3ft]

Hahaha! I’m sure it works. Just a bit goofy to see.

[Th3ft]

Lol! Hey thanks friend!!

[BobbieBoy666]

From my Android smart watch.

[AddylynnNightingale]

No. I mean, I want to, but I don't think I would want to see the results.

[PrettyPriya]

That is what I am afraid of too. Being told by my watch that I suck at sleeping.

[KatherineJ]

Only my own guesstimating knowing what time I last look at a clock and when the d***ed alarm goes off….

[PrettyPriya]

I had tried it before with my watch but it runs out of battery after use all day and then has none for the next day. They have to improve upon that a bit.

[KatherineJ]

@PrettyPriya I have too many tech gadgets, so I will keep my analog watch.

[findacure4wokeness]

I use a cpap machine that logs a lot of sleep data and automatically sends it to a sleep doctor.

[PrettyPriya]

Wow, that is pretty high-tech sending right to the doctor. Thanks for the reply!

[findacure4wokeness]

I have Sleep Apnea which is serous. I stop breathing 83 times an hour with out a cpap so all modern machines needs to log data like that.

[PrettyPriya]

Yeah, that certainly makes sense.

[Sonorous]

I either look at the time before I sleep, or I check my phone's battery & app usage. 🤣 Then I do a rough estimate of how long I've had.

[Daniela1982]

What's sleep? I get maybe 4 or 5 hours a night if I'm lucky.

[Havthrills]

@daniela1982 Totally with you on this. I get 3 to 5 hours. Is there any nights you get a little more?

[Daniela1982]

@Havthrills Occasionally on weekends.

[Havthrills]

Does your mind keep you awake?

[andreasderjuengere]

I see no need for that, because I KNOW where my sleep is.

[exitseven]

I use a CPAP device and it tells me how long I wear it and how many incidents per hour I had

[flirtingsuccess]

I have very sensitive skin. I've owned an Apple Watch and a Fitbit. I now use a Garmin Watch. I don't wear it to bed. I get a rash on my wrist when I wear it.

[msc545]

Anything that can accurately track you is professional and costs a fortune. Forget it.

[FunkyMonkee]

What the hell are you talking about? When I sleep I stay in bed all night! What's to track?

[PrettyPriya]

No need to be rude. Figured at your advanced age you’d be more enlightened on the matter.

[FunkyMonkee]

I'm not being rude, I just don't have a clue what you're talking about.. As for my age, you're half way here and it'll sneak up on you in no time!! Use it while you have it! The first 25 take forever! The next 25 go a LOT faster! a year seems like a few months! Stuff I did 25 years ago seems like it was only 5 or 10 years ago.

[TrillXHippy]

My sleep schedule is really messed up so it really wouldn’t be worth doing

[nawtee_me]

I sleep very well. It doesn’t need tracking I know right where it is….

[Kahel]

I did not know that it has such of thing to track sleeping.

[AviatorTom]

My Fitbit watch tracks my sleep

[PrettyPriya]

Does it do a decent job giving you feedback?

[AviatorTom]

@PrettyPriya Most of the time... yes, in the fitbit app. It almost always gets the amount of sleep I get right (start hour to end hour) and sometimes breaks it down into types of sleep (that's maybe 50-50).

[PrettyPriya]

@AviatorTom cool, thanks! My Apple Watch doesn't last a full 24 hours so never had the patience to try it out. Have a great weekend!

[Jennz6]

No I don’t have anything to do that

[PrettyPriya]

Thanks or the reply! My Apple Watch I have doesn't make it through 24 hours so I have never tried either. Have a great weekend!

[Havthrills]

Nope. I rarely sleep so it doesn't matter.

[Jaggermoves12655]

I never thought of doing that

[Zolly99999]

No not yet. . But I want too

[Sunset14]

nope..

[AngryCarl]

Ms. Priya! We're still buddies, right?

[LemiaOfThunder]

Samsung health.

[BLP11520]

No...

[La_isla_bonita23]

Nope
