Why do some days find us waking up feeling refreshed, while other days we feel like we hardly slept? Well, a sleep tracker can provide valuable insights by monitoring our sleep patterns to provide a clear picture of how much quality sleep we are actually getting each night. Furthermore, sleep trackers provide extremely useful information on how we can optimize our sleep experience.

The editors at IMBOLDN explore several of the most popular sleep trackers out there, as well as some you may have not heard about. Regardless of which sleep tracker you choose, having your sleep data available to you each day will help you to make better choices to improve your sleep hygiene.

The amount of sleep you get predicts your work performance, your mood, your physical health, and so much else.

RISE makes recommendations in relation to the energy peaks and dips of your circadian rhythm in order to ensure a restful night’s sleep.
