For the type of people who get anxious about tracking sleep, is reading this article going to cause them sleep anxiety anxiety? If so, should the authors of the article consider their responsibility in publishing it? I'm only about 40% serious here... but, rereading the opening sentence—"Are you sabotaging your sleep in your quest to improve it?"—that seems remarkably well-optimized to exacerbate the worries of an already nervous person. Another question: among the people who act like hypochondriacs about their sleep trackers, how many of them would act like hypochondriacs about something else if they didn't have sleep trackers? (How many of them do this while also having a sleep tracker?) I think the null hypothesis is that being an orthosomniac is much more a function of the person (predisposed towards anxiety conditions) than of the device. The only thing I see mentioned that (some) sleep trackers do that seems like it might specifically promote anxiety is this: "If you sleep poorly, the app will send a prompt asking what might have gone wrong. A late meal? Too much coffee? Too much to drink? Skipped the gym?" But if that were the point, the article would have a much different title.
