Apple Watch was not tested, so for anyone interested, here are two videos by "The Quantified Scientist" creator Rob ter Horst, a postdoctoral researcher who spe

  Kagi Summarizer key points of the second video: - WatchOS 9 beta introduces sleep stage tracking to the Apple Watch using a machine learning algorithm trained on polysomnography and Apple Watch heart rate and movement data. - The author tested the Apple Watch's sleep tracking against an EEG headband over 18 nights and found it agreed very well, especially for deep sleep tracking. - The Apple Watch detected 89% of deep sleep, 84% of light sleep, and 67% of REM sleep correctly compared to the EEG device. - Overall sleep stage tracking accuracy was better than the 37 other devices the author has tested. - The Apple Watch also detected sleep cycles and awake periods reasonably well compared to the EEG. - Falling asleep and waking up times mostly differed by less than 10 minutes from the EEG. - Future improvements could include sleep coaching based on metrics. - Results may vary for other populations not well represented in the algorithm's training data. - The author used a beta version and polysomnography would provide better validation. - The Apple Watch's performance makes it a current leader for sleep and heart rate tracking accuracy.
