I think everybody can benefit from wearing a sleep wearable or a bedside unit because what
it is it's getting people aware of their sleep, getting more information about their sleep. And more information is always a good thing
because the more, the better you sleep. As of right now, very few sleep specialists
are taking advantage of using these sleep-tracking devices in their clinical practice. I actually do use them in my clinical practice
because it's a great way for somebody to not have to focus too hard on what time did I go to bed, and what time did I wake up, but more
let the natural process of sleep occur. So for people who maybe have poor quality sleep or who
are having insomnia, it might not be a bad idea, again, as long as you don't focus too hard on the data.
As of right now, there aren't any sleep trackers that I'm aware of that help people with narcolepsy or periodic limb movements,
but don't be surprised. There probably are some things coming around the corner soon.
