Sleep - A piece of quality of life

Many people rate their sleep quality based on how much tossing and turning they do or how many hours of sleep they get in a given night - but there are actually many more factors that lead to a good night's sleep.

Fortunately, there are now suitable fitness trackers, smartwatches or even sleep trackers that record every aspect of sleep: REM sleep, deep sleep, half sleep, tossing and turning, interruptions, room brightness and duration. To help you understand and improve your sleep quality, good trackers provide a customised sleep menu with a summary of this data and an easy-to-understand sleep score, a sleep quality benchmark and tossing and turning averages so you can see your progress over time.

A sleep tracker automatically recognises each sleep phase, which is important for maximising your mental and physical performance. Based on the latest sleep science, your sleep chart or hypnogram shows the frequency and duration of each sleep stage - REM sleep, deep sleep and half sleep - as well as tossing and turning, interruptions and duration. REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep primarily renews the mind by playing a key role in learning and memory function. The more REM sleep the body gets, the more likely it is to wake up refreshed and in top form throughout the day.

The body repairs itself through deep sleep. This sleep plays an important role in maintaining health, promoting growth and development, repairing muscles and tissues and strengthening the immune system. Semi-sleep usually makes up the majority of sleep and allows the body to transition into REM or deep sleep.

Tossing and turning and interruptions are good evidence of both restlessness and calmness. Some people toss and turn more than others. Interruptions, significant pauses in sleep, can be caused by many factors: a snoring partner, a trip to the bathroom late at night, or simply the inability to sleep through the night.

Because a good sleep tracker automatically tracks the different aspects of sleep, you will quickly recognise ‘good’ and ‘bad’ sleep patterns. With advanced sleep tracking technology, you can now understand and monitor all aspects of your sleep. You don't need to set a special mode or anything like that, just close your eyes and doze off.
