Smartwatches have taken over our daily lives, but did you know they can also transform your nights? Discover how these little technological gems can improve your sleep and health, while offering you new features while you sleep.
Sleep tracking: your ally for quality nights
One of the coolest features of smartwatches is their ability to accurately track your sleep.
With their sophisticated sensors, these watches analyze your sleep cycles, your nocturnal movements and even your heart rate during the night. This valuable data allows you to:
The smartwatch is not a substitute for a medical sleep examination, but it does provide useful information that you can share with your doctor if necessary.
Additionally, many models offer advanced features to improve your sleep hygiene:
By using these features, you will be able to gradually adjust your habits and enjoy more restful nights.
Continuous health monitoring, even while you sleep
Health monitoring is one of the major assets of smartwatches. Contrary to popular belief, this monitoring does not stop when you close your eyes.
Wearing your smartwatch at night gives you a complete 24-hour picture of your health. Here are some crucial data collected while you sleep:
โ Resting heart rate: a key indicator of your fitness and cardiovascular healthโ Heart rate variability (HRV): a complex parameter that reflects the balance of your autonomic nervous systemโ Oxygen saturation: particularly useful for detecting possible sleep-disordered breathing
This information, collected night after night, allows us to establish a reliable baseline. You will thus be able to more easily detect any anomaly or significant change in your vital signs.
HRV, in particular, requires tracking over several weeks to be truly meaningful, so wearing your watch at night is essential to fully exploit this feature.
Smart alerts and alarms for your safety and comfort
Beyond sleep and health tracking, smartwatches offer practical and reassuring features during the night.
Some apps allow you to configure sound alerts for different situations:
These features are especially useful for people who are hard of hearing or who are deep sleepers.
For young parents, the smartwatch can even be transformed into a high-tech baby monitor. By connecting it to a monitoring device, you can:
These features help you keep an eye (and an ear) on your child while preserving your own sleep.
Smartwatches are constantly evolving and integrating new features to improve our daily lives, including during our sleeping hours. By wearing your watch at night, you fully exploit its potential and benefit from complete monitoring of your health and well-being.
Whether you're looking to optimize your sleep, monitor your health closely, or simply enjoy practical features during the night, the smartwatch is an ideal companion for your nights. Don't hesitate to keep it on your wrist when you slip under the covers!
