The Wizardry of Sleep Gadgetry: Help, Hindrance or Indifference?
21st July 6.00 – 7.00 pm BST
Join this session with Professor Nicole Tang and colleagues from Warwick University Research Lab on SLEEP and PAIN who will share their experiences using different at-home sleep-tracking gadgets (such as Fitbit and Apple Watch).
They will cover other areas like using sleep diaries to record and analyse sleep patterns. The team will talk about different ways to understand the information collected by these sleep tracking devices and how to use of this information to have a better quality sleep. It turns out that better quality sleep, leads to better physical and mental wellbeing, so living well with pain. So a really important session….
