I can’t do sleep trackers I think 

woke up feeling pretty good, immediately get brought down a notch

any amount of alcohol will definitely mess with your sleep, body works overtime at night filtering it out, raises your body temperature, diverts energy from restoration etc.

I feel like my body is very sensitive to certain triggers - a single drink maybe (need to test this) or being screens too much too late.

I think so! Haven’t heard any complaints about snoring or anything

Although it’s been warm here and I’m feeling stuffy with some spring allergies, so could be connected!

Do you breathe well through your nose in your sleep? Could be the upstream factor even if you get enough sleep duration and feel normal

Had an Oura ring for a year

Now using my Garmin watch at night, initially just bought it for running

nocebo is real

What type of tracker do you use?

extremely blessed highly favored always grateful

yeah that’s the core of my problem

I think I should not look at them first thing in the morning, when I do they tend to have an impact on how I feel, even if I disagree with them

like: do you feel how you feel or how the numbers say you feel

ya know?

i think they were useful in establishing a baseline of health (ie: more than 1-2 drinks is bad, eating X hours before bedtime is bad, etc) 

but then add a layer of complexity and anxiety, really, where people become TOO fixated on the data

I've never done something like that.. but it seems rude, I think I'd find myself telling it "no shit, dumbass sleep tracker" every morning

Honestly, I don’t need an app to gaslight me first thing in the morning
