Sleep-tracking devices: Dos and don'ts

Do: Use your data to start a conversation with your doctor

Says Rieck, "If you have trouble sleeping or suspect you have a sleep problem, be sure to talk to your doctor. And bring your sleep tracker data to your appointment." Your doctor won't use the data to diagnose you — consumer devices are not tested or regulated for clinical diagnosis. But your doctor can look at the data to help determine whether you would benefit from clinical testing.
