The way I think of it this way, if your device is giving you information, you think it's bad news, come see someone like me.
We will probably, I'll look at your wearable data, but most people in my world don't even do that.
They don't look at your wearable data.
They don't care.
If you have a problem with your sleep, I will ask you the questions I need to ask, do the tests I need to do to figure out what that problem is and use all the tools I have to fix that problem, irrespective of whatever your wearable says.
And if that wearable is what got you into the clinic in the first place to say, hey, I thought my sleep was okay, but now I'm a little worried about it.
I will say, okay, well, I'll tell you if you need to worry.
Well, I'll ask some questions, figure out what's going on.
Sometimes I'll say like, you know what?
You have what we call normal and I can't fix normal.
I might be able to optimize a little bit.
can work on that and actually de-stressing your, you, your sleep is, is more impaired because of the stress around your sleep than anything else that you're doing.
And so often that's the case.
So like if you're, if you're looking at, if you're looking at your wearable data and you're not happy with what you see, if there is, if there's a problem that needs to be fixed or
Come to a sleep specialist.
We will find the problem.
We will fix it.
If there is no problem to be fixed, if you're within the normal range, a sleep clinician is probably not going to fix it.
It's not going to have anything to fix for you.
You might have to come to somebody who has a little more experience with optimization if you really want it.
