Satisfaction High Among Consumers Who Own Sleep Activity Trackers, Survey Finds

Six in 10 consumers who own sleep activity trackers say they're satisfied with their devices and half say they're sleeping better knowing the technology is helping them, a joint survey CEA did with the National Sleep Foundation found. However, the research also found a contingent of non-believers who expressed skepticism that they need sleep activity trackers, with only 27 percent saying they believe sleep technology will help them be healthier, the groups said Tuesday in a joint report. Nearly 60 percent of survey respondents said a recommendation from their healthcare provider would be important in their decision to use sleep technology, but only 18 percent of users said they received such a recommendation, they said. The survey of 1,000 U.S. adults was conducted online last month, CEA said.
