   Weird question for @dansinker and all my other insomniac club members out there... damn I forgot the question. Oh wait I remember now. Do y'all use sleep trackers and if you do does the Apple Watch seem unrealistically optimistic? I just feel like it doesn't really catch laying there or intermittent waking as well as other trackers.

     I'm not insomniac: my sleep is polyphasic, and I consider this a blessing rather than a curse.

     @philipbrewer @ku @stevendbrewer @dansinker sadly i probably have some kind of congenital sleep problem. But good tracking makes a huge difference, in that i am trying to gain minutes on average, not hours.

     @ku @stevendbrewer @quinn @dansinker I got my first Oura ring six years ago, after a period where life stress had wrecked my sleep, producing all sorts of terrible problems.

     Fixing the life stress was what fixed my sleep, but the Oura ring has still been useful for figuring out which lifestyle changes helped as well.

     And it's kinda cool to have the six years of sleep data.
