Use a wearable sleep tracker (ring, watch, or band)
Enable sleep tracking in the device app
Wear the device every night and charge it as needed
Set your typical sleep schedule and sleep window
Record manually when needed (bedtime, wake time, naps)
Use phone-based sleep tracking apps if you don’t use a wearable
Use smart home sensors (motion, bed sensors) if available
Track sleep stages (if supported) and total sleep time
Track naps separately from nighttime sleep
Review weekly sleep summaries in the app dashboard
Set alerts for consistent bedtime/wake time (if supported)
Log sleep issues (late caffeine, alcohol, stress, illness)
Track room conditions (temperature, light, noise) in the app or notes
Monitor sleep consistency (variance in bedtime/wake time)
Track sleep quality markers (awakenings, sleep efficiency, time awake)
Compare trends over 2–4 weeks rather than single nights
Export data to a spreadsheet or health platform if you want deeper analysis
Use a sleep diary alongside tracker data for context
If you have a sleep concern, share tracker data with a clinician
