The excellent Apple Watch can help you sleep better.

On the occasion of World Sleep Day (World Sleep Night would be more relevant!), The time has perhaps come to wonder about the quality of your rest … Because if you do not spend a good night, it is more difficult to be at the top during the day. And our connected watches, like some Apple Watch, FitBit, Garmin or Polar, can help us …
A few days ago, Apple also organized a small online presentation to recall the potential of its Apple Watch coupled with its sleep app. Thanks to the motion sensor and the heart rate measurement, it is possible to follow the different phases of sleep. In addition, your watch can not only wake you up, but invite you to sink into the arms of Morpheus! Ideal for this International sleep day.
At Polar, Garmin and others …
Polar has long offered not only very detailed sleep tracking, but a holistic view of fatigue, training level and now even gives advice on how to train taking into account cardiac load, multiple parameters. At the end of the night, one can in particular follow his heart rate and know his lowest rate on Polar Flow.
On the side of Garmin, we go even further by giving the possibility of measuring the number of breaths per minute, the levels of oxygen saturation of the blood. When waking up, users can notably consult the application Garmin Connect in order to analyze their sleep statistics and check that they are getting restful sleep to start their day in great shape.
Should we crack: the problems …
There are two basic problems. For the Apple Watch, you have to be able to charge your watch outside of sleep hours and organize yourself accordingly. And when using a more enduring watch, like the Polar Vantage V2, don’t forget to fill up with electricity once or twice a week before going to sleep, but especially before going to train.
The second problem is much more pragmatic or philosophical. With digitization, more and more accessories want to relieve us of basic missions that we accomplish better than machines with very limited artificial intelligence, not to say pathetic…. Do we really need a connected object to have a good night’s sleep or not to forget to go to sleep? I’ll let you decide!
Digital and galloping decerebration
Digitization (yet ending in 2021) is too often synonymous with a worrying decerebration that Pierre Desproges would probably not have been shy of mocking, very seriously … Perhaps he would have published a de-digitization manual at the use of the slaves of their connected assistant, digital addicts and other “digital” illiterates… Who knows?
As we sink into an uncontrollable wave of energy-hungry connected objects, often useless and potentially very polluting, even weighed down by buggy algorithms, the time for reflection has come. I admit moreover consulting the data of my connected watch less and less so as not to rely on my own assessment. Nothing like natural intelligence!

PS
For the more assisted, there are even watches that tell you to wash your hands for at least 20 seconds. CQFD.
