SINGAPORE - With World Sleep Day this Friday, messages about the importance of sleep are likely to be replayed. Statistics about how sleep deprived Singaporeans are, the potential harm to our health caused by chronic poor sleep and a slew of “quick fixes” or “smart hacks” are being revisited.
A sleep tracker can measure sleep duration, timing and efficiency, and keep tabs on regularity over time, keeping a record for future reference. Many devices are linked to apps that pronounce a single “sleep score” that collapses the nature of sleep into a single number that is often combined with a summary of physical activity to generate a “wellness” score.
For those who are serious about sleep tracking, it is preferable to purchase from manufacturers with proprietary algorithms and hardware which have been scientifically tested. Sleep duration is normally distributed, akin to height and IQ scores among a population. As such, an individual’s optimum sleep duration may differ slightly from the average.
Many consumer sleep devices display the length of your night’s N3 and REM sleep on their dashboard. But most trackers do not currently measure sleep stages accurately enough for clinical decision-making, as visually appealing as these displays are.
