Sleep has a lot of accepted health benefits, and this latest one involves your heart health--on one condition.
The condition is that you'll need to sleep between 10:00 P.M. and 11:00 P.M. to minimize your risk of heart disease, reports The Independent.
According to Purple, this accelerometer helps the phone track your movements while you're sleeping. And these movements can indicate the quality of sleep you're getting. Humans tend to move during specific sleep states, and the app uses the accelerometer's tech to track that.
Another way that a sleep tracking app can help you sleep better is by monitoring your heart rate. This works even better if you're using wearable tech like a smartwatch alongside the sleep tracker.
That's because when you go to sleep, your heart rate slows down. And then, going into a deep sleep (also called REM or Rapid Eye Movement) can also cause your heart rate to go back up due to your dreaming.
All of these technologies combine to help make hitting the hay just a bit--if not a lot--easier.
