Seniors: Your Watch Can't Measure Your Sleep Accurately — Here's What It Actually Does

Описание: You check your smartwatch every morning. You see your deep sleep score. And if it's low — you feel anxious before you've even had your first cup of coffee.

But here's what your doctor hasn't told you yet: your fitness tracker cannot accurately measure your sleep stages. Not the deep sleep. Not the REM. And for adults over 60, those numbers are almost certainly misleading you.

In this video, Dr. Michael Breus — board-certified sleep specialist and clinical psychologist — breaks down exactly how your smartwatch works, what it genuinely gets right, and what it gets dangerously wrong. More importantly, he'll show you how to use your device the smart way so it helps your health instead of hurting your peace of mind.

What you'll learn:

How fitness trackers actually estimate your sleep (it's not what you think)
Which sleep data you can trust — and which numbers to ignore completely
Why adults over 60 are especially vulnerable to misleading sleep scores
The 3 rules for using your smartwatch without damaging your sleep quality
The "2-Week Trend Rule" that changes how you read all your sleep data

If you've ever woken up feeling fine — only to have your watch convince you that you slept terribly — this video is for you.
