Tracking your sleep is an important way to determine the quantity and quality of your sleep and identify areas for improvement. How you track your sleep is up to you and different devices/methods work better for different people. For those who prefer wearable devices, Apple, FitBit, and Garmin offer higher-end smart watches with full functionality; more affordable options are available with limited capabilities. If you would like to wear a device somewhere other than your wrist, you can choose from rings, necklaces, and clips. ​ For those who prefer not to wear a device all day, there are plenty of options. You can wear a ring or headband, use a sleep tracking mat, place a device next to your bed, or put your smartphone on your mattress. We do not endorse any specific device or product, these are simply examples of the types of trackers available. We recommend choosing one that fits your needs and budget.
