Purpose Of Review:
To systematically review the available research studies that characterize the benefits, uncertainty, or weaknesses of commercially-available sleep tracking technology.
Recent Findings:
Sleep is a vital component of health and well-being. Research shows that tracking sleep using commercially available sleep tracking technology (e.g., wearable or smartphone-based) is increasingly popular in the general population.
Methods:
Systematic literature searches were conducted using PubMed/Medline, Embase (Ovid) the Cochrane Library, PsycINFO (Ovid), CINAHL, and Web of Science Plus (which included results from Biosis Citation Index, INSPEC, and Food, Science & Technology Abstracts) (n=842).
Study Inclusion And Exclusion Criteria:
Three independent reviewers reviewed eligible articles that administered a commercially-available sleep tracker to participants and reported on sleep parameters as captured by the tracker, including either sleep duration or quality. Eligible articles had to include sleep data from users for >=4 nights.
