53. What Your Wearable Isn't Telling You


Listen Later

Have you ever woken up feeling rested, checked your sleep score, and suddenly felt tired? There is actually a name for that. It's called orthosomnia, and it's more common than you might think.

In this final episode of the June sleep metrics series, Tanya breaks down what consumer wearables actually measure well, where they fall significantly short, and how to use your data as one input among several rather than the final word on your health. She covers the real limitations of sleep stage detection, why HRV trends matter more than single-night readings, and how to stop letting a number on a screen override what your body is already telling you.

This is the series closer, and it ties together everything covered in episodes one through three on HRV, sleep architecture, and circadian rhythm. A practical, grounding finish to a month of deep teaching.
