@FasCat @SleepAndSports @drpetertierney @DrSianAllen @Sleep4Sport Absolutely! I couldn’t agree more and it’s still interesting to see what time day behaviors might impact this data- we just don’t ppl to use it to drive orthosomnia.

[Jenna Gress Smith, PhD @sleepresolve]

@SleepAndSports @drpetertierney @DrSianAllen @FasCat @Sleep4Sport @SleepAndSports gave the perfect answer! The major error in staging on these devices is so important for people to know. They are best used for totally sleep time. People usually feel best with a consistent and adequate sleep window and minimal disruption.

@sleepscientist Ugh I’ve got one starring at me 👀

@hubermanlab Naps are not a universal solution for everyone and should be implemented with care and within the correct circadian timing, but most people benefit from 1 of the many NSDR tools that ease the sympathetic nervous system.

@matthorsnell @michaelgrandner @ShechterAri Hahaha this comment made me literally giggle out loud

[Jenna Gress Smith, PhD @sleepresolve]

@michaelgrandner @ShechterAri Haha definitely! It’s the anti-stimulus control, not gonna sleep beauty

@hubermanlab Mouth taping is an anecdotal black hole. One study in asthma patients found no difference in peak air flow. People will want a quick fix, but daily nasal breathing and myofunctional are likely more effective and safer.

[Jenna Gress Smith, PhD @sleepresolve]

@michaelgrandner @Sleep4Sport Agreed. It accidentally aids in people becoming led by data and wanting to change it instead of habits or behaviors.

[Jenna Gress Smith, PhD @sleepresolve]

@michaelgrandner @joincrescentco Thanks for the read and feedback! I would love to hear more about your concerns. This is a living document that will be continually updated as data is released and experts weigh in.

[Jenna Gress Smith, PhD @sleepresolve]

@Sleep4Sport @joincrescentco Lol wow! This should teach me not to multitask, sorry for the typos!

[Jenna Gress Smith, PhD @sleepresolve]

@Sleep4Sport @joincrescentco Thanks for checking! It was just and internal products by the team ❤️

[Jenna Gress Smith, PhD @sleepresolve]

@DrSianAllen This is what brought me to health psychology! The interplay between biopsychosocial systems, measurement, analysis, and interventions gets my heart going any day!

[Jenna Gress Smith, PhD @sleepresolve]

@sleepscientist Love them! Pitties??

[Jenna Gress Smith, PhD @sleepresolve]

Do you use a tracker for your own sleep? If so, which one?

[Jenna Gress Smith, PhD @sleepresolve]

I’ve been collaborating with the @joincrescentco team on a living document that review the actual science on trackers, not a fluffy gift giving guide. Input from the sleep twitter space welcome! https://t.co/zt110eweyD

[Jenna Gress Smith, PhD @sleepresolve]

@DrSianAllen @jasonljin @joincrescentco @azure_dominique That’s a great idea and agree worthwhile to see if the science has improved.

@BrandonPetersMD 👀

[Jenna Gress Smith, PhD @sleepresolve]

@sleepscientist @matthorsnell @SleepAndSports That was my thought!

[Jenna Gress Smith, PhD @sleepresolve]

I’ve always thought of sleep as a superpower that needs to be honored through consistency, but people always ask how to get more or better without the consistency part.
