That's good to hear! My sleep tracker seems to base results on heart rate, and maybe my heart rate doesn't dip enough during sleep to register?

I'd like to do a sleep study, but it's over $1,000 out of pocket, so not a small investment.

That seems plausible to me. I don’t know if HR is a good enough signal, since it varies so much between person to person.

Didn’t know they were that pricy, ouch.

It will be worth it. No price is too high for a lifetime of good sleep.
