Vote now: Do you wear your smartwatch/fitness band to bed?

Here we are at the smartwatch topic again. These wearables have become an integral part of our daily lives - there are so many brands and models out there that everyone can afford one. And most of them - even the cheapest ones - offer some kind of sleep tracking.

Now, in order to track your sleep, the said gadget must be on your hand during the night (duh!). That immediately poses a couple of problems. First - your smartwatch or fitness band must have enough charge to survive the night (I’m looking at you Apple Watch!).

Second - not everyone is comfortable sleeping with a huge chunk of metal (plastic, ceramic, you name it) strapped to their hand. I know I’m not. Time and again I’ve tried to find a smartwatch or a band that’s comfortable enough to sleep with it but to no avail.

On the other hand, I believe there are people who don’t mind sleeping with their watch on, whether we’re talking about a smartwatch or a regular timepiece. So, today we’ll try to find those brave souls - who sacrifice their wrist comfort for the sake of digitally controlled wellness, and ironically - a better sleep.
