Sleep Quality
Sleep Quality is a composite measure reflecting how restful and restorative your sleep is. By tracking sleep quality, you can pinpoint factors that affect your overall well-being. Pillow aggregates data from various sleep metrics to provide a clear trend, helping you understand if improvements in your sleep environment or habits are making a difference.
Sleep Duration
Sleep Duration tracks the total time you spend asleep. Maintaining an optimal sleep duration is crucial for cognitive function and physical recovery. Pillow monitors your sleep duration and presents trends that let you see if you’re consistently getting enough sleep, or if adjustments are needed.
Sleep Disruptions
Sleep Disruptions indicate how often and how long your sleep is interrupted during the night. Frequent disruptions can diminish the restorative power of sleep. With Pillow’s detailed analysis, you can identify patterns in these interruptions and work toward reducing them for a more continuous sleep cycle.
REM Sleep
REM Sleep is vital for emotional well-being, memory consolidation, and cognitive function. Pillow tracks your REM sleep phases and provides insights into their duration and frequency. Understanding your REM sleep patterns can help you determine if you’re getting enough of this crucial sleep stage.
Light Sleep
Light Sleep represents the transitional stage between wakefulness and deeper sleep. It plays an important role in preparing your body for more restorative sleep stages. Pillow’s analysis of light sleep trends allows you to see how much time you spend in this stage and how it correlates with your overall sleep quality.
Deep Sleep
Deep Sleep is the restorative phase of your sleep, essential for physical recovery and rejuvenation. By tracking deep sleep, Pillow helps you understand whether you’re achieving sufficient restorative sleep each night. Trends in deep sleep can indicate the effectiveness of your sleep habits and environment.
Heart Rate
Monitoring your Heart Rate during sleep offers insights into your cardiovascular health and stress levels. Pillow captures heart rate data and integrates it into your sleep trends. This allows you to see how factors like stress, exercise, and sleep quality interact over time.
