Does the software for monitoring sleep less than 2 hours a night really work?
4hw.org: now smart phones have more and more functions. In addition to watching movies and dramas, they also record your health data, such as your exercise records, heart rate and sleep. However, these data are just auxiliary. The data is only a fuzzy data. Recently, a woman downloaded a sleep monitoring software because of her heavy work pressure. When she woke up the next day, she was scared Now. I only slept for two hours all night, which scared her out of sleep!
The 'sleep software' monitoring didn't sleep for two hours in a night. Worried Ms. Wang went to Wuhan psychological hospital for a sleep monitoring. The results showed that the sleep quality was good.
Ms. Wang, 45, jumped to a new company at the beginning of the year. A month ago, she just got promoted. She felt that the work pressure increased abruptly. She was always tossing and turning at night. Every day after waking up, she felt sleepless. When she heard that mobile software could monitor sleep quality, she downloaded one. But when she woke up the next morning, she was shocked by the statistics of the software: she would wake up every half an hour, and the total sleep time of the whole night was less than two hours.
Ms. Wang has been monitoring for several days, and the results are the same. The more she thinks about it, the more afraid she is. She is so worried that she can't sleep all night. The day before yesterday, at the urging of her family, she came to the sleep disorder clinic of Wuhan psychological hospital. At the suggestion of Zhang Changyong, the director, she slept in the hospital for one night and received the sleep multi-channel monitoring. When I wake up in the morning, I can see that the sleep time has reached 8 hours, and the sleep structure is complete, which is quite different from the result of mobile software.
Zhang Changyong explained that electronic devices such as sleep software and bracelets are based on physical activity and sensory sensitivity as indicators, which are detected by motion recorder monitoring actions. If you move a lot, you think you are in light sleep. If you don't move, you think you are in deep sleep. 'it's not reliable to judge whether you sleep well or not. 'he points out that there are four to six sleep cycles to go through at night. In one cycle, the light sleep is 7 minutes, the second sleep is more than 40 minutes, the deep sleep is more than 20 minutes, and the fast eye movement sleep is more than 20 minutes, the whole cycle is about 90 minutes. Software detection of sleep can't tell users exactly what's wrong with sleep, but it will make people anxious because they can't sleep. Ms. Wang is a typical work pressure caused by subjective insomnia.
Zhang Changyong suggested that people who love insomnia should try to shorten their sleep time in the daytime. If they can't sleep for more than 20 minutes after going to bed, they should get up to exercise, and then go to bed when they feel sleepy.
